Marching down to city hall
We join the light parade
Learning to untie the knot
The dawn of brighter days
In the midnight darkest dreams
The rivers will run free
All this time spent digging
Just to find its buried meaning
Can you hear the siren's song
When you lie awake at night
Do you hear the siren's song
Dream of love that's lost and gone
See the general on the street
He's begging for some change
Plants his heels into the ground
In this war against the sane
At home you see the banker
He's on his way to work
Throws his change at the beggar
Who's to say what they are worth?
Do they hear the siren's song
When they lie awake at night
Do they hear the siren's song
Dream of love that's lost and gone
I hear a whisper in my ear
An old familiar tune
Reminding me to stay awake
The box might open soon
Mining for the deepest gems
You might just find a start
To expose the precious diamond
Lying buried in your heart
Do you hear the siren's song
When you lie awake at night
Do you hear the siren's song
Dream of love that's lost and gone
