Cold and walking on their heads, washing hands in tears they shed
As a child is born to a brand new day, wars are lost and won
As the city sleeps, the dirty deeds are laid
And every time that you think, you're right, you're wrong

Now it won't be long, 'til the voice of truth has had it's say
Now it won't be long, 'til everything that's owed is all repaid

Losing faith in honesty, bathing in our sympathy
Well the child is torn to another way, he's speaking with a gun
Now the city weeps, the dirty deeds were played
And every time that he thinks, he's right, he's wrong

Now it won't be long, 'til the voice of truth has had it's say
And it won't be long, 'til everything that's owed is all repaid
Yeah, it won't be long, 'til karma comes around again
Around again my friend

As the raven screams, you'll never see the dawn
You look around and everything you've had is gone
