Sooner or later all the bad things people do will come back to them one way or another.
Tonight your conscience comes calling
Last November comes knocking
(Pause)

It's just turned two
All alone in bed except your conscience and you

Time to deal with the shame
You have no one to blame

Because at night
The mind takes flight

No place to hide
Nowhere to run
(Pause)

Time to dwell on the selfish needs
That makes you do those dirty deeds

To all that have been taunted
It's time to be haunted

Nobody thinks you'll ever pay
For all the nasty things you say

Never caring about the lives in need of repair
After the damage you've done

But what's hidden from others
Now comes to light

The silence around you is deafening
The darkness piercing
(Pause)

At night
Your mind takes flight

No time to heal
To the conscience it's time time to kneel

So now you'll remember
What you did last November
(Pause)

No escape from yourself
As you pray for daylight
