Lyrics
Motives changing
Day to day
The fire increases
Masks decay
I look at the river
White foam floats down
The body’s poisoned
Got to sit tight
The wait
The wait
The wait
The wait
After awakening
The silence grows
The screams subside
Distortion shows
Mutant thoughts
Of bad mouthed news
It’s just another birth
Of distorted views
The wait
The wait
The wait
The wait
Originally released by Killing Joke in 1980 on the Killing Joke album.
