A world that always waits
You could be just the same
But your body's only aching
It's flooded with a bitter rain
A messenger dressed in gold
A friend you knew long ago
Invites you to come with

And leaving wasn't hard
You're guided by the stars
And a motive from your childhood
That night around the table where
The wanderers never spoke
A man intact never broke
And everyone's the same

Down to your knees you fall and pray
Begging to do them right today
"When did the whole world run away?"
Fall to the ground a hundred times
Covered in bruises but it's fine
"Haven't you ever wondered why?"

You go without the guide
Your target's just inside
He's meandering as always
You follow through the hallways
As he steps outside to the yard
The golden plate to the stars
You say it's all free will

Before you draw the blade
A man who's less afraid
Joins the priest in heavy breathing
An instant and he's bleeding
As the soldier stares back at you
A little light's coming through
And everyone's the same

Down to your knees you fall and pray
Begging to do them right today
"When did the whole world run away?"
Fall to the ground a hundred times
Covered in bruises but it's fine
"Haven't you ever wondered why?"

Down to your knees you fall and pray
Begging to do them right today
"When did the whole world run away?"
Fall to the ground a hundred times
Covered in bruises but it's fine
"Haven't you ever wondered why?"

Be—
Never goes away
Because it never goes away
Because it never goes away
Because it never goes away

Let's stare into the sun
Into the endless dawn
"You know that nothing ever changes
And everyone's the same so
Just let me be"

The sunset stares you down
You can't just let go now
It asks you, "When'd you start to falter?
Your own priest at the altar
Is now long dead"

The gold was hollow, no one noticed
They killed us just to show us
We love them so
And now a whole new world before you
Can gather to adore you
They love you so!
