Say your prayers little oneDon't forget, my sonTo include everyoneI tuck you in, warm withinKeep you free from sinTill the Sandman he comes
Sleep with one eye openGripping your pillow tight
Exit lightEnter nightTake my handWe're off to Never Never Land
Something's wrong, shut the lightHeavy thoughts tonightAnd they aren't of Snow WhiteDreams of war dreams of liarsDreams of dragon's fireAnd of things that will bite
Sleep with one eye openGripping your pillow tight
Exit lightEnter nightTake my handWe're off to Never Never Land
Yeah-heah!
Now I lay me down to sleep(Now I lay me down to sleep)Pray the Lord my soul to keep(Pray the Lord my soul to keep)If I die before I wake(If I die before I wake)Pray the Lord my soul to take(Pray the Lord my soul to take)
Hush little baby, don't say a wordAnd never mind that noise you heardIt's just the beasts under your bedIn your closet, in your head
Exit lightEnter nightGrain of sandExit lightEnter nightTake my handWe're off to Never Never Land
Boooooo!
Yeah, yeah!
Yo oh!
We're off to Never Never Land(Take my hand)
We're off to Never Never Land(Take my hand)
We're off to Never Never Land
We're off to Never Never Land
We're off to Never Never Land

No more!The crap rolls out your mouth againHaven't changed, your brain is still gelatineLittle whispers circle around your headWhy don't you worry about yourself instead
Who are you? Where ya been? Where ya from?Gossip is burning on the tip of your tongueYou lie so much you belive yourselfJudge not lest ye be judged yourself
Holier than thouYou areHolier than thouYou areYou know not
Before you judge me take a look at youCan't you find something better to doPoint the finger, slow to understandArrogance and ignorance go hand in hand
It's not who you are, it's who you knowOthers lives are the basis of your ownBurn your bridges and built them back with wealthJudge not lest ye be judged yourself

New blood joins this earthAnd quickly he's subduedThrough constant pained disgraceThe young boy learns their rules
With time the child draws inThis whipping boy done wrongDeprived of all his thoughtsThe young man struggles on and on he's knownA vow unto his ownThat never from this dayHis will they'll take away
What I've feltWhat I've knownNever shined through in what I've shownNever beNever seeWon't see what might have been
What I've feltWhat I've knownNever shined through in what I've shownNever freeNever meSo I dub thee unforgiven
They dedicate their lives, To running all of hisHe tries to please them allThis bitter man he isThroughout his life the sameHe's battled constantlyThis fight he cannot winA tired man they see no longer caresThe old man then preparesTo die regretfullyThat old man here is me
What I've feltWhat I've knownNever shined through in what I've shownNever beNever seeWon't see what might have been
What I've feltWhat I've knownNever shined through in what I've shownNever freeNever meSo I dub thee unforgiven

What I've feltWhat I've knownNever shined through in what I've shownNever beNever seeWon't see what might have been

You labeled meI'll label youSo I dub thee unforgiven

Don't tread on meSo don't tread on me
Liberty or death, what we so proudly hailOnce you provoke her, rattling of her tailNever begins it, never, but once engaged...Never surrenders, showing the fangs of rage
So don't tread on me
So be itThreaten no moreTo secure peace is to prepare for warSo be itSettle the scoreTouch me again for the words that you will hear evermore...
Don't tread on me
Love it or leave it, she with the deadly biteQuick is the blue tongue, forked as a lightning strikeShining with brightness, always on surveillanceThe eyes, they never close, emblem of vigilance
So don't tread on me
So be itThreaten no moreTo secure peace is to prepare for warSo be itSettle the scoreTouch me again for the words that you will hear evermore...

All that is, was and will be,Universe much too big to see
Time and space, never endingDisturbing thoughts, questions pendingLimitation of human understandingToo quick to criticizeObligation to surviveWe hunger to be alive

Pride you tookPride you feelPride that you felt when you'd kneel
Not the wordNot the loveNot what you thought from above
It feedsIt growsIt clouds all that you will knowDeceitDeceiveDecide just what you believe
(Chorus)I see faith in your eyesNever you hear the discouraging liesI hear faith in your criesBroken is the promise, betrayalThe healing hand held back by the deepened nailFollow The God That Failed!
Find your peaceFind your sayFind the smooth road on your way
Trust you gaveA child to saveLeft you cold and him in grave
It feedsIt growsIt clouds all that you will knowDeceitDeceiveDecide just what you believe
(Chorus)
I see faith in your eyesBroken is the promise, betrayalThe healing hand held back by the deepened nailFollow The God That Failed!
Pride you took Pride you feelPride that you felt when you'd kneel
Trust you gaveA child to saveLeft you cold and him in grave
(Chorus)
Follow The God That Failed!Broken is the promiseBetrayal, betrayal, yeah!
