Slow Dawning

I know for some it takes a bit, a bit more time
I know for some the truth is slowly dawning
We used to try and see things from the other side
You just see everything that's wrong in your life

You're a slave to a tired religion
Scream from the side of the road
And you pray that you will be forgiven
This hate left you nowhere to go

You know they're everything you've said, you would never be
You hear those lies? They've got your name upon them
Yeah, sure things are not how they used to be, though you may try
It's just not the same now that we've seen the other side

You're a slave to a tired religion
Scream from the side of the road
And you pray that you will be forgiven
This hate left you nowhere to go

There are some things we do not control

Slow, slow, slow, slow
Slow, slow, slowly dawning

And that's just pain that's all that is
Slow, slow, slowly dawning
And it's a wave to ride to ride back in
Slow, slow, slowly dawning
That's just pain that's all that is
Slow, slow, slowly dawning
A way to let some light back in
Slow, slow, slowly dawning

You're a slave to a tired religion
Scream from the side of the road
And you pray that you will be forgiven
This hate left you nowhere to go

What's in your head? Don't pass the test
There's nothing left, it's slowly dawning
Bury your head or count the dead
There's nothing left, it's slowly dawning
