While you were building your empires I was still sleeping I was still sleeping While you were setting your woods afire I was still dreaming I was still dreaming
Now I will unsettle the ground beneath you Send my waters ashore Creep into your bed Find you in every corner
While you argue it over I am not waiting I am not waiting While you retreat to your comforts I am not fading I am not fading
I've done this many times before you Old Shanghai New Orleans Amsterdam and Mumbai Strange new creatures To scavenge your pores Oh I've done this many times before you Ashen sky Lightning storms Deltas to desert plains Wartime on every border
I've done this many times before you Watched the pattern take form Children your time is done If you say it's done together
