The Morning Lies Heavy

The morning lies heavy on me, father

I couldn't find the time to fall asleep

And I couldn't stop from thinking on it either

And the morning lies heavy on me



They said I wouldn't have to be there 'till tomorrow

And there's friends of mine I've really got to see

But it's not goodbye, I know there's soon to follow

And the morning lies heavy on me



Tell me, who's the one who fights until he's broken

Is it the men who sit in judgement of us all

I wouldn't care if it was their lives they were taking

They don't listen nor even answer to the call



And tomorrow I'll be flying from the mainland

And joining in a new company

And some of us will never see our homeland

And the morning lies heavy on me



And what's left for decent people to believe in

It's not a question of to be or not to be

And what's the point, it's only us that we're deceiving

And the morning lies heavy on me



Tell me who's the one who fights until he's broken

Is it the men who sit in judgement of us all

I wouldn't care if it was their lives they were taking

But they don't listen nor even answer to the call



The morning lies heavy on me, father

I couldn't find the time to fall asleep

And I couldn't stop from thinking on it either

And the morning lies heavy on me
