How Will We Sleep

I'm no man's idol and no man's my king I was born on the pause of a pendulum swing My father was quiet My mother would sing: If you found love in life You've found everything Oh, how will we sleep to the crash and the clang As the hell-bent hell fires burn on in our names? How will we live: By the dove or the blade? Will we keep our eyes closed as the dream slips away? I take my hit I take my bitter pill But I still spare the rod and the in-for-the-kill What comes in on a temper goes out on a chill Do we learn from our past, or just say that we will? Oh, how will we sleep to the crash and the clang As the hell-bent hell fires burn on in our names? How will we live: By the dove or the blade? Will we keep our eyes closed as the dream slips away? Oh, I love my baby And I love my son But I won't hold my breath And I won't hold my tongue Growing old seemed like death to me when I was young Now I want to grow old And I want to belong Oh, how will we sleep to the crash and the clang As the hell-bent hell fires burn on in our names? How will we live: By the dove or the blade? Will we keep our eyes closed as the dream slips away? Will we keep our eyes closed as the dream slips away? Will we keep our eyes closed as the dream slips away?
