Thoughts at 2AM Songtext
von Buddy & Julie Miller

You render your oppressors silent with your wordless eyes
You own the life of every man from birth until he dies
You see collective evil sway like ships upon the sea
Like currents carried around the world by men so mindlessly
Your enemies so fierce and cruel will one day all bow down
And every tongue confess your name compelled to make a sound


People sell philosophy like confidence men
And so the blind lead all the blind into the ditch again
The powers of the darkness try to swallow up the truth
But in the end they find their lying mouth just lost a tooth
The author of compassion has our pain beneath his skin
And so the whole wide world upon his fingertip does spin

I′ve fooled myself on purpose and I've been out on the run
I′ve painted myself pictures where I could hide from what I've done
But longingly the mighty one seeks me like a lost lamb
And tenderly he calls and says his child is who I am
Awake my heart, awake my heart, attune to hear his words
Inside the great cacophony a single voice is heard


You say your sheep will know your voice and will follow you
And they will heed no other call besides the one that's true
You watch as hearts grow harder and the lights of justice dim
You see your children suffering and want to carry them
The time is soon yet soon the cursed snake will lose effect
And God Almighty′s bride will have her foot upon his neck
