Someone Sleeps

Yellow moon rise
And the shadows are so long
Comes as no surprise
I hear another night song
And the echoes in those hills
A random rhythm the silence fills

And someone deals in pain
Someone deals in power
And someone sleeps tonight
Someone deals in pain
Someone deals in power
And someone sleeps tonight

Ragged children left to play
Fear, then hear the sound
Run, run, oh, run away
Stumbling feet on dusty clay
In the rocket's glaring red
A weeping mother hangs her head
'Cause someone sleeps tonight, forever

Someone deals in pain
And someone deals in power
And someone sleeps tonight
Oh, someone deals in pain
Someone deals in power
And someone sleeps tonight, forever

And in the flame's inferno
Consuming human flesh and soul
Innocence becomes a stranger
Despair a burning coal
An old man's eyes are vacant
His calloused hand's open, still
Children wander in the ruins
Where grief roams, never filled

Sometimes at night they hear
The wind of a past they cannot change
In the morning silence
Tell me, what goodness will remain?
The bitter cup is filled once more
A bloody history paints this land
They try to seal a tomb that's empty
While they build the cross again

And someone deals in pain
Someone deals in power
And someone sleeps tonight
Someone deals in pain
Someone deals in power
And someone sleeps tonight

Forever, forever
Forever, forever

Forever
