As I Lay Dying - Upside Down Kingdom lyrics

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
