Upside Down Kingdom

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Tim Lambesis] Many choose to find their hope In the thoughts of afterlife When there is none to be found Right here before we die So, I understand The feeling of helplessness When we are just taught to wait here Wait here for death [Pre-Chorus 1: Tim Lambesis] Wait here for death Wait for this suffering to end Wait here for death (wait here for death) Wait for this suffering to end [Pre-Chorus 2: Tim Lambesis] We are not forgotten For a kingdom is offered Beyond that of golden streets We can represent now What will one day Be complete [Chorus 1: Josh Gilbert & Tim Lambesis, both] Simplicity is not a curse Where strength is humbled And the powerless rise (And the powerless rise) This is a kingdom Born upside down This is a kingdom Where the broken are crowned [Post-Chorus 1: Tim Lambesis] Wait here for death Wait here for death The "blessings" of excess Are only a burden on us [Bridge: Tim Lambesis] It is a broken system Where we just wait for death It is a broken system Where suffering can never end [Chorus 2: Josh Gilbert & Tim Lambesis, both] Simplicity is not a curse Where strength is humbled And the powerless rise (And the powerless rise) This is a kingdom Born upside down This is a kingdom Where the broken are crowned [Post-Chorus 2: Josh Gilbert] The broken are crowned [Outro: Tim Lambesis] If helplessness is our system Then we're better off upside down
