Wait

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 'Cause all we do is wait 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... 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 'Cause 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
