How Do We Sleep

What do you say, when there's nothing left to say? When all the words are spoken, and the silence runs astray? The thoughts have all been written down, the pen is laid aside Do you feel your mind at peace, or do you feel as though you've died? It's a war of truth and lies A search for right and wrong Who will fall and who will rise The battle rages on How do we sleep at night? With the world around us going to hell Tell me, how do we justify? We do nothing, nothing changes at all In a thousand years from now, the winners they will be praised The history books will all be burned, that told of other ways So when tomorrow morning comes, to bring another day We'd better test our mettle, before we fade away When good men stop and stand aside The evil ones succeed They take for granted all we've done And watch the planet bleed So how do we sleep at night? With the world around us going to hell Tell me, how do we justify? We do nothing, nothing changes at all Who will fall and who will rise A search for right and wrong It's a war of truth and lies The battle's raging on How do we sleep at night? With the world around us going to hell Tell me, how do we justify? We do nothing, and nothing changes at all
