Wait

[Verse 1]
Shadows of the sun...
...enraptured in the sound
Hypernormal frequencies...
...illuminating clouds
We televise the noise...
...to all that we can reach
The broadcasts preach the word...
...of better times and peace

We automate the lies...
...with images we fake
Machines to grant our every wish...
...when all we do is take!
To apathy we drink...
...when dancing in the flames
A chance for us to celebrate...
...because all we do is wait!

[Verse 2]
Who has the most is King
Constructed to be served...
...so that which is destroyed...
...is cheered on while it burns
With nothing left to lose...
...and seconds ticking fast
Though time is running out
All we do is laugh
And hide among the crowd
...drowning in its noise
In envy of the beautiful...
...facades of shallow grace
The best would try and fail
Feel helpless at the task...
...but lead as if they rule in hell...
...when all we do is wait!

[Chorus]
Our fortunes running out...
...and our options running dry
With no one else to turn to...
...still, we sit and cry
We’re dancing in the flames...
...to the sounds of our demise
Drinking to our apathy...
...because all we do is wait
The King, the sacred Crown
The Chalice and the Mace
Who rule over these famine lands...
...whose bounty goes to waste
A power that corrupts
Regaling this as fate
The waters rising to our necks...
...and all we do is wait
