lyrics

The Sleep of the Innocent
It was a cold bitter morning, when he walked home in pain
His scared eyes in chaos, englassed by the rain
Oh why, why, why, why, his soul screamed inside
Oh, why did I do, what I’ve done?
When they came, he was weak, he caved into their demands
His whole body weeps, when he remembers taking their bribes
In his hand was a scapel, on his face a white mask
In his eye a lone tear, as the blood stained his hands
And the deeds of the wicked
Are never outgrown
And the cold, cold, cold poison
Goes down so slow
May the warm wings of truth carry you home
May the white light of peace, lift up this stone
May the innocent sleep, Be yours to behold, to behold
In the black graveyard hours, he’s wide-eyed and alone
His heart beats in panic, as he stares at the phone
The freedom of truth, so close to his grasp
He approaches the table and extends his frail hand
And the deeds of the wicked
Are never outgrown
And the cold, cold, cold poison
Goes down so slow
May the warm wings of truth carry you home
May the white light of peace, lift up this stone
May the innocent sleep, Be yours to behold, to behold
