expected of the night to play these tricks with me
i try to not react and let it be
but the night lets everything fall
and before i know it the evil stands tall
the reality that i can’t save all
starts taking a toll
and i, i try to fight with all my might
but there is no sign of light
wake up to the roosters crow
the day brings with it the sun’s shade
it might look serene
but there is no escape
for beyond the iron walls
the evil it still stands tall
and the 9-5 has taken its toll
and the righteous have no other way but to crawl
and i, i look at the sun and cry
for even in the light, truth dies.
who to blame now? this life, the night or the sun?
turning heel to the dark side, start living by the gun
and the bullet it does not discriminate
it lives on the principle of hate
and all the sermons are kinda late
for in the charcoal and tar now i bathe
and i, i stand vindicated and can explain
for you see the now but forget about the past pain
and we are all lost now, like tears in the rain.
