[Verse 1]

Got a better night (Yeah)

Got a better 'fore somebody kill me

Got a better tight (Yeah)

For me, it seems better than I ever had known before

How do you see, with blindness all around you?

How do you understand? (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

And when you see the enemy surround you

When do you show your hand? (Yeah, yeah)


[Chorus]

Got to leave it alone

Call me a nation

Got to leave it at home

Call me a brand-new revelation

Brand-new revelation


[Verse 2]

I am a homicide (Yeah)

Just a shadow, waiting for a casket

I am preoccupied (Yeah)

You know I think someone want to kill me

How can you bleed, with vultures all around you?

How could you give them hope? (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

How can you sleep with murderers inside you?

I could never cope (Yeah, yeah)


[Chorus]

Got to leave it alone

Call me a nation

Got to leave it at home

Call me a brand-new


[Bridge]

I feel your cold hand lying over me

I feel the underside, your generosity

And I hear the angels singing, do they sing for me?

I feel your cold hand, I feel your cold hand


[Guitar Solo]


[Refrain]

I feel your cold hand, I feel your cold hand

I feel your cold hand, I feel your cold hand


[Guitar Solo]


[Verse 3]

How can you sleep at, how can you sleep at

How can you sleep at night?

How can you sleep at, how can you sleep at

How can you sleep at night?

How can you bleed with vultures all around you?

How do you understand? (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

How can you sleep with murderers inside you?

When do you show your hand? (Yeah, yeah)


[Chorus]

Got to leave it alone

Call me a nation

Got to leave it at home

Call me a brand-new

Got to leave it alone

Call me a nation

Got to leave it at home

Call me a brand-new revelation


[Outro]

Brand-new revelation

Brand-new revelation
