Afraid Of The Dark Lyrics - Singles - Waterdeep

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
