My temple is built of wood and of stone
Each space is filled with the things that I own
Idols and gods that call me to bow
Well, I try to be free but there's no freedom now
No freedom now
The ones I hold dear, those most precious to me
Some days I set them afloat on an indifferent sea
And these things in first place, they're worth nothing at all
At night in my dreams, graven images call
And my gods won't let me sleep
And what a man sows that he will reap
And I toss and turn at night
I've got places to go, I've got battles to fight
And my gods won't let me sleep tonight
Tonight, tonight
Ambitions once good, once noble and pure
Now rule with a rod and I cannot endure
These bonds I have forged with two willing hands
They're not easily torn by the strength of a man
And my gods won't let me sleep
And what a man sows that he will reap
And I toss and I turn at night
I've got places to go, I've got battles to fight
And my gods won't let me sleep
They won't let me sleep tonight, no
No other gods before You, no other holy shrines
Oh, I want to sleep in peace when I lie down
All other voices calling
All of the hands that pull me
Call and demand allegiance to their crown
And my gods won't let me sleep
What a man sows that he will reap
And I toss and I turn at night
I've got places to go, I've got battles to fight
And my gods won't let me sleep
And what a man sows that he will reap
And I toss and I turn at night
I've got places to go, I've got battles to fight
And my gods, they won't let me sleep
Won't let me sleep tonight
Let me sleep
Let me sleep, tonight
Won't let me sleep tonight
Please, let me sleep, tonight
Please, let me sleep, tonight
They won't let me sleep tonight
I toss and I turn
I toss and I turn
They won't let me sleep tonight
