In the fallout now
It’s hard to feel like we can turn around
With the damage done
It’s hard to see how far we’ve come
We could not be proud
Of where our feet have walked along the ground
In the silence now
We play it back and forwards again

There’s a sound in our guiltiness
It’s a warning bell that rings
It’s a call to our loneliness
And we can’t see

We roll the dice we play like fools
We plead with time to change the rules
It’s like a hurricane is coming our way
We’ve all been warned but we still chose to stay

I can’t believe it now the time has come

Play the victim here
You know it’s nothing but your pride and fear
But the more you hurt
The more you love the one you were

There’s a sound in our guiltiness
It’s a warning bell that rings
It’s a call to our loneliness
And we can’t see

We roll the dice we play like fools
We plead with time to change the rules
It’s like a hurricane is coming our way
We’ve all been warned but we still chose to stay

I can’t believe it now the time has come

In the light of the morning
Can we change what we felt and heard
Can we turn it into the glory
Break the paths of our fathers before us
Though we stand on the outside
We will find what we once believed
And will crawl our way to the clear skies
Standing up we are
Standing up we are

We roll the dice we play like fools
We plead with time to change the rules
It’s like a hurricane is coming our way
We’ve all been warned but we still chose to stay

I can’t believe it now the time has come
