Upcast - I

Displaced

Give yourself up
The hour has come
Reins in the hands of the strong
Cycle of life
Did not heed the signs
The fittest arrived at the door
It's nothing unseen
Soft and depraved
An empire crumbles to dust
The floodgates are open
What a surprise
Goodbye to the glorious past

Through the ashes of empires
Same thing under the sun
One day gloating with power
And the next they are gone

Keep a friendly smile
Live on in denial
What a typical case
So at home in your place
Now listen!

Give it all up
Values betrayed
Feeble roots damaged by rot
Tolerate this
Hit by the wave
Coming to terms with your lot
Now is the time
To look deeper inside
See past the populist cries
Naïve bystander
Easily fooled
By the utopian lies

Through the ashes of empires
Same thing under the sun
One day gloating with power
And the next they are gone

Keep a friendly smile
Live on in denial
A new prophecy, diversified policy
Dangerous fallacy, a suicidal tendency
Can't you see, wipe that smile from your face
Congratulations, you've just been displaced

Golden apple left to rot
One day have all, then have not
Golden apple left to rot
One day have all, then have nought
Golden apple left to rot
One day have all, then have not
Golden apple left to rot
One day have all, then have nought

The floodgates are open
Empire crumbles to dust
Chimera of greatness
Fading in the past

Now is the time to look deeper inside
See past the populist cries
Naïve bystander so easily fooled
By the utopian lies

Keep a friendly smile
Live on in denial
What a typical case
Looking out of place
Keep a friendly smile
Live on in denial
A new prophecy, diversified policy
Dangerous fallacy, a suicidal tendency
Can't you see
It's time to wipe that smile from your face
Congratulations, you've just been displaced
