And the night consumes the day
And it steals my thoughts away
and I never know for sure
what the dawn will endure
or if it will return
maybe we’ll never learn
But hope is the only salvation I see

and the soldier kills the child
and the cop he kills the thief
The junkie in disbelief stand there with no relief
crucified for just being stoned

And the night consumes the day
And it steals my thoughts away
and I never know for sure
what the dawn will endure
or if it will return
maybe we’ll never learn
But hope is the only salvation I see

They say our prophets are insane
So they lock them up again
and when they can’t do that
They shoot them in the back
Leaving us alone like a drone without a home
to fly aimlessly in circles
O what the fuck

And the night consumes the day
And it steals my thoughts away
I never know for sure
what the dawn will endure
or if it will return
maybe we’ll never learn
But hope is the only salvation I see

And the night consumes the day
And it steals my thoughts away
and I never know for sure
what the dawn will endure
or if it will return
maybe we’ll never learn
But hope is the only salvation I see

and the soldier kills the child
and the cop he kills the thief
The junkie in disbelief stand there with no relief
crucified for just being stoned

And the night consumes the day

and I never know for sure
what the dawn will endure
or if it will return
maybe we’ll never learn
But hope is the only salvation I see

They say our prophets are insane
So they lock them up again
and when they can’t-do that
They shoot them in the back
Leaving us alone like a drone without a home
to fly aimlessly in circles
O what the fuck

And the night consumes the day
And it steals my thoughts away
I never know for sure
what the dawn will endure
or if it will return
maybe we’ll never learn
But hope is the only salvation I see
