Idle Cure Silent Hope Lyrics

Another blackout in the city
Another promise laid to waste
Streets are beckoning the cries of pity
You've grown accustomed to the taste

Putting on the window dressing
Search for someone to anoint
Pay the money for his deadly blessing
One step closer to the point

You try to hide it
you can't hide the truth
You try to fight it you can't fight the truth

(Chorus):
See the light as you steal away
Does the truth cut like a knife
Is this a dream you have found the way
Or has the nightmare come to life

In the alley you lay broken
Neon message "Jesus Saves"
Thru the tears a silent hope is spoken
A shining light for midnight slaves

(Chorus)
