[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
