People cross here in the night
Destination out of reach
We ensure that some will die along the trail
Our God is not of charity

Feel it coming down
A test failed day by day
Are these the mysterious ways?

Can’t go wrong, the praising of tyrants
Follow along, the story’s in the works
You thought that you’d be watching from the side

Are we the fortunate ones?
Our colours slowly being erased
Day by day
Day by day
Day by day

The choices are beige and grey
Box stores, man-made lakes
Horizons set a block away

Can’t go wrong, the praising of tyrants
Follow along, the story’s in the works
You thought that you’d be watching from the side

Are we the fortunate ones?
Our colours slowly being erased
Day by day
Day by day
Day by day

School security, militarized cops
Borders, armies, nuclear bombs
Behind the walls still no one feels safe

Can’t go wrong, the praising of tyrants
Follow along, the story’s in the works
You thought that you’d be watching
You thought that you’d be watching from the side
