There Will Be Surprises

I hear you calling the exceptions
To your own arbitrary rules
I see you celebrate deception
But you've been fooled

You think you're controlling all this chaos
You think you're the master of your lies
If you think your violence will pay off
You're gonna be surprised

Oh, there will be surprises

You can bet that Babylon was pretty
With gardens lining every gate
What could sink this holy city
But its own weight?

So when every child from hidden corners
Who now escapes your line of sight
Inherits kingdoms with the mourners
Don't be surprised

Oh, there will be surprises
There will be surprises

Well, I've seen humans upward striving
Trying to be more than flesh and blood
Till their ambition leaves them writhing
In the mud

But I saw a human one ascending
Riding clouds across the sky
Overturning and upending, his wounds were glorified
Oh, and there were surprises

There will be surprises
There will be
There will be
