Lyrics:

Another blackout in the city
Another promise laid to waste
Streets are beckoning the cries of pity
You've grown accustomed to the taste

Putting on the window dressing
Search for someone to anoint
Pay the money for his deadly blessing
One step closer to the point

You try to hide it
You can't hide the truth
You try to fight it
You can't fight the truth

See the light as you steal away
Does the truth cut like a knife?
Is this a dream you have found the way
Or has the nightmare come to life

In the alley you lay broken
Neon message says 'Jesus Saves'
Thru the tears a silent hope is spoken
A shining light for midnight slaves

See the light as you steal away
Does the truth cut like a knife?
Is this a dream you have found the way
Or has the nightmare come to life
