We always knew they'd be the country
Who'd drag the world into ruin.
No need to name names, we all played the game,
Now the sky's cracked, and the storm's brewin'.
The signs were there, but we turned away,
Too busy chasing the flame.
Now the echoes of war are knocking at the door,
And we've got no one else to blame.
Oh, we always knew, but we never spoke,
Too afraid to break the spell.
Now the truth's in the smoke, and the bridges are broke,
And we're left with stories to tell.
We always knew, we always knew,
But we danced while the empire fell.
They built their towers, we watched them rise,
Golden gates on a house of sand.
We traded our dreams for their hollow schemes,
Now the hourglass slips through our hands.
The warnings came, but we drowned them out,
With the noise of our own despair.
Now the rivers run dry, and the birds won't fly,
And the wind carries whispers of prayer.
Oh, we always knew, but we never spoke,
Too afraid to break the spell.
Now the truth's in the smoke, and the bridges are broke,
And we're left with stories to tell.
We always knew, we always knew,
But we danced while the empire fell.
Maybe we could've stopped the tide,
Maybe we could've changed our fate.
But the seeds were sown, and the roots have grown,
And the harvest is bitter and late.
We always knew, we always knew,
But we closed our eyes and prayed.
Now the world's on fire, and the truth's in the pyre,
And the debts of the past must be paid.
We always knew, we always knew…
But we let it slip away.
