lyrics

LYRICS:

Awake the Elders

Running in circles and chased by the wind
The old man falls to the ground
And as the ground shifts
and he clings to the edge
He braces his ears for the sound
Of the one who they feared but never believed in
He rises from depths long forgotten
The old wizard searches his mind for a ward
The king has returned, and so has the horde

Crawling and climbing the old man holds on
He reaches out toward the skies
The blood it rains down and it blankets them all
As all of them meet their demise
That they should have seen coming,
he showed them the signs
He foretold exactly this scene
He scrambles along over the new jagged world
He travels alone, and wonders what it means

The perpetrator laughs alone, at the comfortable ignorance
Are they really innocent, when they brought it on themselves
How can you sit back and watch, how can I get you there
How can you sit back and watch, watch it all crumbling
You could have been here,
you should have been there with us
This time it's real

I tried to tell them, I told everyone
No one would listen, now they're all gone
Showed them the signs, told them their fate
No one would listen, now it's too late
Too late, too late

I tried to tell you, you were the one
You wouldn't listen, now they're all gone
Showed you the signs, told you your fate
You wouldn't listen, now it's too late
