Even At Midnight

We've walked barefoot on this hallowed earth Can we still believe in the second birth Have we waited in line for a wasted life? We balance on the edge of a rusted knife Is this lifetime struggle about to end? The day we met you were my oldest friend Will the powers that be heed the clarion call? Will the crystal citadels all fall? Embrace the change with open arms We've tilled the earth on a hundred farms I feel the soil beneath my feet And walk a mile along an empty street I'm sweating in the warmth of this city's heat And I miss you every day Even at midnight When the sun no longer shines The moon will cast my shadow now Across division lines Even at midnight When the night meets the new day I look for a sign that you are near To catch a whisper of what you say Even at midnight I close my eyes To enjoy the dark And imagine We're walking in a park The rain is pouring But we embrace Hand in hand there's nothing Nothing we can't face Together we'll break the chains of fate Our love will prove it's not too late Even at midnight We held a blade to a willing throat And learned sacrificial words by rote Did we join the queue and await our turn? Destined to obey can we ever learn? I gave you the tools to make a start And drive a hundred nails into my bleeding heart Can you hear my screams echo through the night? Did you bring a knife to a six gun fight? We can make this world our very own Build a future from a once forgotten home Somewhere where seas and forests meet the sky The reasons are for us to know and others wonder why And I shiver in the cold of the storm and rain And I miss you Every day Even at midnight When the sun no longer shines The moon will cast my shadow now Across division lines Even at midnight When the night meets the new day I look for a sign that you are near To catch a whisper of what you say Even at midnight I close my eyes To enjoy the dark And I imagine we're walking in the dark The rain is pouring But we embrace Hand in hand there's nothing, nothing that we can face Together we'll break the chains of fate Our love will prove it's not too late Even at midnight I miss you
