We are drifting along without remembering
We are merely strangling shadows
We are morose, we are pathetic, we are done
Look at us now - we are kneeling
Look at us now - are we kneeling?

When we should be weeping with rage
Or at least be rattling our chains
Look at us now - we are over
Look at us now - we are over

We remain outside the circles
Watching them turn
When we are left with nothing to give
Nothing to [bad word] or conquer
History smells of traitor
History smells of [bad word] 
It's flowing in our veins
It's oozing out through our pores

When we should be weeping with rage
Or at least be rattling our chains
Look at us now - we are over
Look at us now - we are over

You who mistook love for boredom
You who have no self-control
You who confuse talking with breathing
What do you know of the lives we're leading?
History smells of traitor
History smells of [bad word] 
And yet again it pours death from the skies
For a sunless life

When we should be weeping with rage
Or at least be rattling our chains
Look at us now - we are over
Look at us now - we are over
Look at us now - we are over
Look at us now - we are over
