Lyrics
A Gentlemen's Coup
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The pain, disorder
A cataclysmic dawn
We trusted but something has gone wrong
We bought it
But woke to find it gone
Impact in 5, 4, 3, 2
The place before
The radiation creeps
On cats' feet
We scatter in the streets
She asks me "do you think it's safe to breathe?"
It doesn't look that way to me
We storm the gates
Raise the flags
Just the same old story
We seize the throne
Subjugate
We should have burned it to the ground
Whoah...
Some might say we've lost our way
But i believe we've not gone far enough
Afraid, we cower
To interests not our own
The power to free or to control
We let it skip through
Our fingers to the bone
Watch as the bodies wash ashore
Whoah...
Nobody lives here anymore
We storm the gates
Raise the flags
Just the same old story
We seize the throne
Subjugate
We should have burned it to the ground
Whoah...
Some might say we've lost our way
But i believe we've not gone far enough
And how long will we fall for this?
And how long will we fall for this?
How long will we fall for this?
And how long will we fall?
And how long will we fall for this?
And how long will we fall for this?
And how long will we fall for this?
How long, how...?
We storm the gates
Raise the flags
Just the same old story
We seize the throne
Subjugate
We should have burned it to the ground
Whoah...
Some might say we've lost our way
But i believe we've not gone far enough
