Baby when the dream is over
Wake me up in the light of love
I know the war is just beginning
And the dream demands it’s blood
Everybody’s working for the effort
Few can help but play a part
In this all out war we wage against ourselves
We nail our lines but we lose our hearts
And our hope is not illusion
It is love in the future tense
And our faith is not confusion
It is our most lucid sense
And our nature has been stuck in school
Where we pay to have it killed
And we reason that a crushing debt
Is just reward for a mind refilled
We don’t own the ocean
And we don’t run the moon
We’re not sick with motion
But we will be soon
When the sun is gone
And the blood is drawn
We will light it up in the dead of dawn
We were born to fight for freedom
To deploy our living breath
But we abdicate our power
To the industries of death
We can move to revolution
As we fortify the sense
To metabolize the weapons and the fear
And the myth of self defense
We don’t own the language
And we don’t own the land
It’s the gift of ages
Not a prison, baby
When the sun is gone
Hot blood is drawn
We will light it up in the dead of dawn
