Our star burns bright
As we curse it for the final time
And we forget to breathe
And we regret
The process of our age
Progress, stagnation and decay
And we breathe deep

And as we realise
That hope is not enough
Our game is up
So caught up in the whens and whys
We forget to breathe
Breathe in
Breathe out
Breathe deep

Well for a year we lived as kings
We had everything that we could ever need
And we slept
We slept soundly in our royal beds
As the walls came crashing down
Around our ears

And as we realise
That hope is not enough
Our game is up
So caught up in the whens and whys
We forget to breathe
As we realise
That hope is not enough
Our game is up
