[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Loss of control, the gears twist and the clock turns
Ever the optimist 'til the clouds roll in and the bridges burn
The aggravation of drawing blood out from the stone
We've hit the bone

[Pre-Chorus]
Kingdoms fall with the weight of it all
And we're gone

[Chorus]
I hate to tell you but the setting sun won't rise
The shepherd lost his grip and now the wolf's inside
Now the paragon has poison in his veins
We'll wash away, we'll all decay

[Verse 2]
A slowing breath, a sharpened tongue for comfort
Ever the optimist 'til the deluge hits but the famine first
The final reckoning, the actions and the consequence
You've drawn your breath

[Pre-Chorus]
A fumbling king, only chaos he'll bring
An obedient queen forced in between
The obscene
[Chorus]
I hate to tell you but the setting sun won't rise
The shepherd lost his grip and now the wolf's inside
Now the paragon has poison in his veins
We'll wash away, we'll all decay

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
I hate to tell you but the setting sun won't rise
The shepherd lost his grip and now the wolf's inside
Now the paragon has poison in his veins
We'll wash away, we'll all decay

[Outro]
