1000 Points of Light lyrics

[Verse 1]
You can sail in the desert
With a ship of fools
You can smuggle in Moses
And his book of rules
But you can't take a mother
And give her back her son
What kind of freedom
Is bought with a gun?

[Pre-Chorus]
People like to build their prison walls
When they're afraid to look inside

[Chorus]
A thousand points of light
Are the muzzle flashes in the night
And the freedoms you profess to hold
Won't bring the dead back from the cold

[Verse 2]
Political speeches
They're lying in the mud
Nothing else matters
But money and blood
Tyranny of freedom
Is do what you like
There's a world gone crazy
'Cause it can't say no
[Pre-Chorus]
People like to build their prison walls
When they're afraid to look inside

[Chorus]
A thousand points of light
Are the muzzle flashes in the night
And the freedoms you profess to hold
Won't bring the dead back from the cold
A thousand points of light
Are the muzzle flashes in the night
And the freedoms you profess to hold
Won't bring the dead back from the cold

[Spoken]

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
There should be time for love
But there's too much room for hate
Too much sliding of the truth
Too much abuse of wasted youth
There's a time for dying
And a time for living too
I've had enough of media lies
Had enough of your alibis
[Chorus]
A thousand points of light
Are the muzzle flashes in the night
And the freedoms you profess to hold
Won't bring the dead back from the cold
A thousand points of light
Are the muzzle flashes in the night
And the freedoms you profess to hold
Won't bring the dead back from the cold
