Keeping watch while the whole world sleep (Listen close)

Feel the earth toss and turn and week (Hear its voice)

A wearied ground opens up to roar (Hear it roar)

"How much longer will this pain endure?"



We're waiting for a better day

The shadows gone, all things pass away

Listen close and hear it say

"We're cursed and we're dying"



Hills shake and mountains quake (Mountains shaking)

Earth's fires have come awake

No words, but hear it speak (Hear it speaking)

As the deep calls to the deep

Beauty, beauty mixed with dread -

Hanging by a thread



We're waiting for a better day

The shadows gone, all things pass away

Listen close and hear it say

"We're cursed and we're dying"



Skies wake, the heavens ache (Heavens aching)

Thunder and lightning break

O glory come, come like a thief (Like a thief)

Bring us relief from grief



Still on and on, we're waiting for the hour

On and on, our cries are growing louder

How long must darkness reign in a world so violent

While we toss and turn in pain, in vain, and it's still so silent



Waiting, wait for what's ahead -

These tattered rags will be shed



We're waiting for a better day

The shadows gone, all things pass away

Listen and hear it say

"We're cursed and we're dying"



The hills shake with mountains quaking

The earth's fires have now awakened

No words, but hear it speak

"We're cursed and we're dying"

"We're cursed and we're dying"
