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
Wait here for death
Wait for this suffering to end
Wait here for death
Wait here for death
Wait for this suffering to end
We are not forgotten
For a kingdom is offered
Beyond that of golden streets
We can represent now
What will one day be complete
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
Wait here for death
Wait here for death
The blessings of excess
Are only a burden on us
It is a broken system
Where we just wait for death
It is a broken system
Where suffering can never end
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
(The broken are crowned)
If helplessness is our system
Then we're better off upside-down
