We Are Waiting

I awoke on a black burning ocean
No surroundings, halfway drowning
I made my way to a turned-over building
It had your face painted on the side of the wall

And I remember a time filled with fool's hope
It's a-changing, it's a-changing
But our kingdom was lost in an instant
It comes around

Not one promise has remained unbroken
Not a single word left to believe

We're waiting
For a moment when the world's suspended
When no one even blinks until then
With fires burning unattended
We're waiting

We're waiting
For a moment when the world's suspended
When no one even blinks until then
With fires burning unattended
We're waiting

As I walked from the black burning ocean
Remembered crying and people dying
I paint it red on your face with my right hand
It comes around

Not one promise has remained unbroken
Not a single word left to believe

We're waiting
For a moment when the world's suspended
When no one even blinks until then
With fires burning unattended
We're waiting

We're waiting
For a moment when the world's suspended
When no one even blinks until then
With fires burning unattended
We're waiting
