Waterdeep - Afraid of the Dark Lyrics

People try to tell me what I should believe

But I just sit and listen cause love will never leave

Hieroglyphic sermons gallantly express

Visions of repression and the tears outlast the test but



You welcome me

In from the cold cold night

You welcome me despite the cries



Men in black and navy forage for the law

Disillusioned dreamers forgot what they foresaw

Flagrant smiles creep mildly onto the vandal's face

We forgot to tell them that greed had been replaced



Cause you welcome me

In from the cold cold night

Yes you welcome me despite the cries



I wish for you my conscience to overthrow the hate

To listen to the fragile I swear it's not too late

The children of refinement are resurrecting change

Cause vagabonds were puppets and no one heard their name



Emancipation lingers an inch above our grasp

While diplomats beleaguer the voices that don't match

Heretics are punished criminals set free

Prisons are dividers of opportunity



And you welcome me

In from the cold cold night

Yes you welcome me despite the cries



Futures lie in waiting they're hoping to exist

Forgiveness is an army and no one will enlist

Guilt remains the symptom of peace that's gone awry

Inside the righteous mind-frames distracted by desire



A thousand screaming nations fulfill the prophecies

I wonder how long we have

until the time has come to leave



And you welcome me

In from the cold cold night

Yes you welcome me despite the cries
