Cul-de-Sac

[Intro]

Wake up now

This is the time you've waited for

[Verse 1]

Far below where shadows fester

As they grow an army thousands strong

Obsessed by right and wrong

Sense their time is coming near

So they turn towards the light

From their region of the night

Marching on and on

They near the air, it won't be long

[Chorus]

You know you're on the way out

It's just a matter of time

You thought you'd rule the world forever

Long live the king and don't spare the loser

[Verse 2]

After all, you're not what you thought you were at all

You're just a natural fact

Another cul-de-sac

On nature's hard unfeeling trail

Now all those dreams of old

Will be stories left untold

Cut off in your prime

Extinct until the end of time

[Chorus]

You know you're on the way out

It's just a matter of time

You thought you'd rule the world forever

Long live the king, but don't spare the loser now

[Bridge]

Now the host emerges and a shadow starts to fall

Not one knows what hit them, none can see at all

Even as the end approaches but still they're not aware

How can you fight a foe so deadly

When you don't even know it's there?

And now that the job is almost done

Maybe some escape, no, not even one

[Chorus]

You know you're on the way out

It's just a matter of time

You thought you'd rule the world forever

Long live the king and don't spare the loser
