When the world comes crashing down
Will you search the sky for safety
You can hope and pray
But this is the sound of the end
I know no one will save me

If your cries go unanswered
Will your hate get you past it

When your world comes crashing down
Do you look to tradition
Don't believe in flesh and blood
And live a life in fear of these visions

You're living in the shadows
Cast by doubt, believe in yourself (believe in yourself)

If your cries go unanswered
Will your hate get you past it

Oh dear God, these are the darkest nights
How can we open their eyes
Oh dear God, this is my constant plight
When will they open their eyes
When will they open their eyes

Every word is a waste of breath
Every word falls on ears that are deaf

You're living in the shadows
Cast by doubt, believe in yourself
Stop living in the shadows
Free your mind and believe in yourself

Oh dear god, these are the darkest nights
How can we open their eyes
Oh dear god, these are the darkest nights
How can we open their eyes
Oh dear god, this is my constant plight
How can we open their
When will they open their eyes
