Imagine spending all your hard-earned years building walls, digging moats
To quiet old, unfounded fears - to keep unseen threats remote
Then imagine one day being told - there never was a war to fight
Your time is up, your dreams have grown cold
And all that's left is hindsight
Now you know me, now you know me well
You feel the fire at your feet
You breathe and every creature sleeps
Pretend you're in a closet in your room, playing dead - breathing low
Listening to the devil play his tune - and you're alone for all you know
Then pretend the door swings wide open and you think you sense deliverance
You know you're screaming and nothing comes out
And your saviour kills your innocense - Your saviour kills your innocense
Now you know me, now you know me well
You feel the fire at your feet
You breathe and every creature sleeps
You breathe and every creature sleeps
To quiet old, unfounded fears - to keep unseen threats remote
Then imagine one day being told - there never was a war to fight
Your time is up, your dreams have grown cold
And all that's left is hindsight
Now you know me, now you know me well
You feel the fire at your feet
You breathe and every creature sleeps
Pretend you're in a closet in your room, playing dead - breathing low
Listening to the devil play his tune - and you're alone for all you know
Then pretend the door swings wide open and you think you sense deliverance
You know you're screaming and nothing comes out
And your saviour kills your innocense - Your saviour kills your innocense
Now you know me, now you know me well
You feel the fire at your feet
You breathe and every creature sleeps
You breathe and every creature sleeps
