We were kings and queens of bedlam
We were happy to exist,
In discomfort we'd created
Though we dreamed of more than this
We had embers in our bloodlines
Iron lungs beneath our skin
Though our hearts were barely beating
We were bleeding out within
We're at a stalemate,
Begging for the earth to shake,
Wondering if the winds will change
And blow us all away,
We are in the dark age
Tell me it was worth the pain,
Will the wild winds sing again
And blow us all away?
Or will we stay
Everything the same?
Oooh, stay,
Just beneath the flames
Just beneath the flames
We were wary of the future
How the days drew on and on,
With our eyes so widely open,
Tried to see where we'd gone wrong.
We were bold and we were brazen
But grew timid over time,
In our fear we lost direction,
And our dreams left us behind,
We're at a stalemate,
Begging for the earth to shake,
Wondering if the winds will change
And blow us all away
We are in the dark age
Tell me it was worth the pain,
Will the wild winds sing again
And blow us all away?
Or will we stay
Everything the same?
Oooh, stay,
Waiting for a change,
Oooh stay,
Just beneath the flames
Just beneath the flames
(Blow us all away)
(Blow us all away)
Stay,
Everything the same,
Oooh, stay,
Just beneath the flames,
Just beneath the flames,
Blow us all away, away, away, away, away
Blow us all away, away, away, away, away
Blow us all away, away, away, away, away
Blow us all away, away, away, away, away / (Just beneath the flames)
Blow us all away, away, away, away, away
Just beneath the flames
