Fathers against their mothers
Sons against brothers
We collide
In our arrogance and pride
Shallow oaths pledges worthless
Did we believe You could save us
Coldest hearts
Freeze our hands to shattered parts
Prayers and praise ring hollow
Sleep for sorrow
We’ll betray You come tomorrow
Sleep for sorrow
We beg on our knees we crawl
Gluttony we would take it all
Greed consumed
Salvation can’t be assumed.
Thankless, thoughtless, insincere,
Fallen swallowed up by fear
Wages earned
Forging ahead needing to turn
Prayers and praise ring hollow
Sleep for sorrow
We’ll betray You come tomorrow
Sleep for sorrow
If you want to go fast go alone
If you want to go far can’t on your own
If you want to go forever go to the Throne
If you want to go fast go alone
If you want to go far can’t on your own
If you want to go forever go to the Throne
Sleep for sorrow
Prayers and praise ring hollow
Sleep for sorrow
We’ll betray You come tomorrow
Sleep for sorrow
