One more death
in the name of some god.
One more prayer
answered in blood.
Man invented god
so man could keep it all.
One more prophet
hiding in the hall.
One more night,
one more bed of tears.
One more fool
swims against the tide.
One more dream
that will never last the night.
Sink or swim
fight or fall.
One more back
up agains the wall.
One more night,
one more bed of tears.
One more thief
to rob you with his pen.
One more law
that you cannot defend.
The school bully now
has a gun in his hand.
One more boy
who thinks that he's a man.
One more night,
one more bed of tears.
One more face
turns towards the sky.
One more heart
with sorrow as its bride.
Not all of us are sleeping
some are standing by.
One more voice
learning how to fly.
One more night,
one more bed of tears.
