While You Wait

[Chorus]
While you wait, an uncertain day starts another fake war
What will it take? Are you ready?
While you wait, your apathy puts your hand on the blade of the mother slain

First they sold you a threat to your life
Imminent phase of a fear unknown
Then they told you
'best that we strike now, before the others do'
It becomes you- empathy slides
You will know hate of the fear alone
Then they own you-
Better just strike now, before the others do

You believe what you want to, remove what you know in your heart is the truth from the lie
And the dream that you know is the furthest thing from the fates of the hopeless who die
As you serve the machine, are you certain you are not the face of the world you despise?
You know this, but choose your indifference
