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
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

Congratulations, you've just been displaced
Golden apple left to rot

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

Congratulations, you've just been displaced
