"Thou Shalt Not" lyrics

Despite all the pain that
We've been through, my friend
We search for a sign
To guide us to the end
Believe in yourself
Do what you think is right
May your kids be safe
And warm into the night

The blood, the sweat
The anger, and the tears
Represent all our acts of faith
Throughout the years
Deceit is a means
In which to measure gain
Never taking the name of
Lord thy God in vain

From this day on, for keeps, we play
We lost ourselves along the way
We sow our seeds and watch them grow
Content that God will never know

And thou
Thou shalt not
And thou
Thou shalt not

Behold:
The meaningless we must protect
The telltale signs
Are there in full effect
Embrace the unknown
As if it was your own
May the sun shine bright
In times when you're alone

Remind us before the day
That we're to go
To share our thoughts
With those who care to know
We must give praise
When goodness is preserved
Lay the law down hard
For punishment deserved

And now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
And if I die before I wake
I pray the Lord my soul to take

And thou
Thou shalt not
And thou
Thou shalt not

From this day on, for keeps, we play
We lost ourselves along the way
We sow our seeds and watch them grow
Content that God will never know

And thou
Thou shalt not
And thou
Thou shalt not
