[Verse 1]
Comes the sign of wasted times, I will wait no more
Ever trudging through the aimless forests we explore
In our boots and money chains, mis-fitting cloaks we can't contain
Hidden hates of urgency declaring our emergency

[Chorus 1]
And up the tallest window world
The distance was not clear
Unoccupied by brutish thoughts
We had no cause to fear
A lesson so severe

[Verse 2]
Hotter than the fire we built, darker than the truth
Ignorance reflected in the windows of our youth
Push me now beyond the bounds of healing hands and thorny crowns
And all the sadness it implies, I've tasted with my own two eyes

[Chorus 2]
And as the cattle rack was cleared
The floor was brightly stained
And larger though we grew in size
Not a thing was gained
For fate has so ordained
