Upside Down Kingdom
As I Lay Dying - The Powerless Rise
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 for this suffering to end
Wait for this suffering to end
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
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
If helplessness is our system then we're better off upside-down
