lyrics

In the End

Everybody's out to get their own
I can see the panic in the hearts that only turn to stone
I feel trapped inside this fortress that's collapsing 'round
There's no love when there's no common ground
But I don't have all the answers
And I don't think they can be found

I've been fighting with my own shadow
The world has cast me in its light
What if I reject the glowing halo
That every fire-breathing leader wants to ignite

I got my own conscience
I got my own prayers
You can fake pity on
Someone who really cares

'Cause in the end we are all alone
But we've got our hearts and we dare not cast the first stone
There's a sun that shines so bright, it gives way to the moonlight
And the power of the night can lead you home
Yeah, the power of the night can lead you home

I've heard the story told a million ways
A new world war can lead us to the end of days
I've got pictures from another time and place
Where people did more than take up all their useless space

I got my own conscience
I got my own prayers
You can fake pity on
Someone who really cares

'Cause in the end we are all alone
But we've got our hearts and we dare not cast the first stone
There's a sun that shines so bright, it gives way to the moonlight
And the power of the night can lead you home
Yeah, the power of the night can lead you home

They've got their own conscience
They've got their own prayers
They can fake pity on
Someone who really cares

'Cause in the end we are all alone
But we've got our hearts and we dare not cast the first stone
There's a sun that shines so bright, it gives way to the moonlight
And the power of the night can lead you home

In the end we are all alone
But we've got our hearts and we dare not cast the first stone
There's a sun that shines so bright, it gives way to the moonlight
And the power of the night can glad you home
Yeah, the power of the night can glad you home
Yeah, the power of the night can glad you home!
