Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Motives changing
Day to day
The fire increases
Masks decay
I look at the river
White foam floats down
The body's poisoned
Got to sit tight
[Verse 2]
The wait
The wait
The wait
The wait
[Verse 3]
After awakening
The silence grows
The screams subside
Distortion shows
Mutant thoughts
Of bad mouthed news
It's just another birth
Of distorted views
[Verse 4]
The wait
The wait
The wait
The wait
[Verse 5]
The wait
The wait
The wait
The wait
Written by: Jaz Coleman, Paul Ferguson, Martin Glover, Geordie Walker
