Sing a dirge or a peaceful word that makes the children dance
You fearful herd who do you serve that makes you so afraid
Sing us to sleep so when we wake we won't know fear
Mockingbirds, say your words
Step by step we'll fall right in line
Brick by brick we'll build our walls, until we're all the same
Bow down to the sultans
Let the church bells sing our prostitution
When I sing, you sing along
I sing along in the stillness between each breath
My heart begins to tremble as your soul draws near
Sister don't leave me, brother please wait with me
Because without love we're all so lost
Sing us to sleep so when we wake we won't know fear
Complacency has taken me, now all I know is fear
In the stillness between each breath, we won't know fear
So put your lips across my face, a kiss goodnight
And leave me in my peaceful slumber
Wake up o sleeper
You sold yourself to a picture show tyrant
Bow down to the sultans
Let the church bells sing our prostitution
