They sing their songs by firelight
I watch them dull their minds
These foolish drunks and diplomats
Trust a hero with their lives
Do lies and empty promises
Give hopeless men relief?
Is ignorance their innocence?
Do they walk the world asleep?

I am cunning, they're complicit
I am coming, they dismiss it
Let their creature comforts blind them
I have come here to remind them

I am wakeful
I am watchful
I am unafraid to fight
I will stir you from slumber
I will never say good night
I am wakeful
I am watchful
I am unafraid to fight
I will tear you
from your treasures
I will never say good night

We're all guilty of something
For every gift there is a sin
It depends on where you're standing
Where you are and where you've been
We're all guilty of something
Cutting corners, casting stones
We are none of us immortal
We are all of us alone
We're all guilty of something
For every give there is a take
We pretend to love the victims of
The choices that we make
We're all guilty of something
Either past or present tense
Who will save you from your shadow?
Who will come to your defense?
We're all guilty of something
For every wrong there is a right
We'll make any lie a lullaby
If it helps us sleep at night
We're all guilty of something
Every day this quiet war
I am here to wake you up
I am opening that door

I am wakeful
I am watchful
I am unafraid to fight
I will stir you from slumber
I will never say good night
I am wakeful
I am watchful
I am unafraid to fight
I will tear you
from your treasures
I will never say good night
