Cul-De-Sac - 2007 Remaster

Wake up now
This is the time you've been waiting for

Far below, where shadows fester as they grow
An army, thousands strong, obsessed by right and wrong
They sense their time is coming near
So they turn towards the light from their region of the night
Marching on and on, they near the air, it won't be long

You know you're on the way out
It's just a matter of time
You thought you'd rule the world forever
Long live the king, and don't spare the loser

After all, you're not what you thought you were at all
You're just a natural fact, another cul-de-sac
On nature's hard unfeeling trail
Now all those dreams of old will be stories left untold
Cut off in your prime, extinct until the end of time

You know you're on the way out
It's just a matter of time
You thought you'd rule the world forever
Long live the king, but don't spare the loser now

Now the host emerges, and a shadow starts to fall
Not one knows what hit them, none can see at all
Even as the end approaches, still they're not aware
How can you fight a foe so deadly when you don't even know it's there?
And now that the job is almost done
Maybe some escape, no, not even one
You know they're on the way out
It's just a matter of time
You thought you'd rule the world forever
Long live the king, and don't spare the loser
