lyrics

When the armies of day, trudge through the night.
You can cry yourself to insomnia.
When the armies of day, trudge through the night.
Not sleeping with the enemy.

When there's nothing left to say, you can hide away.
From the black wolf that's howling at your door.
When there's nothing left to say, you can hide away.
Not sleeping with the enemy.

At night you lay still, chained tight
in you mind's cage, troubles trapped inside.
At night you lay still, chained tight.
Not sleeping with the enemy.

When the armies of day, trudge through the night.
You can cry yourself to insomnia.
When the armies of day, trudge through the night.
Not sleeping with the enemy.
