Another blackout in the city Another promise laid to waste Streets are beckoning the cries of pity You've grown accustomed to the taste Putting on the window dressing Search for someone to anoint Pay the money for his deadly blessing One step closer to the point You try to hide it You can't hide the truth You try to fight it You can't fight the truth See the light as you steal away Does the truth cut like a knife? Is this a dream you have found the way Or has the nightmare come to life In the alley you lay broken Neon message says "Jesus Saves" Thru the tears a silent hope is spoken A shining light for midnight slaves See the light as you steal away Does the truth cut like a knife? Is this a dream you have found the way Or has the nightmare come to life
