Upside Down Kingdom

Upside Down Kingdom - As I Lay Dying

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
