Orphans of the Universe Songtext
von Pattern‐Seeking Animals

Well I could be wrong
But I can′t shake the feeling that the answer's out there
And we all hang on
Waiting for a message from a savior somewhere

Here we are
The orphans of the universe
Drowning in a drop of water
Putting faith in sons and daughters
Here we are
No peace upon the earth
Generations fall behind us
While the future burns inside us

So we must stay strong
Inching ever closer to a chain reaction
As the wars rage on
Fearing one another with a blazing passion


Here we are
The orphans of the universe
Drowning in a drop of water
Putting faith in sons and daughters
Here we are
No peace upon the earth
Generations fall behind us
While the future burns inside us

Everyone here look straight ahead
And just be glad you′re not stone dead
No broken bones, no shrunken heads
Now kneel down to the throne
We don't care about your name
We don't care from where you came
We just know you share the blame
For all that′s happened here
For all that′s happened here
For all that's happened here
Vengeance, said the Lord, is mine
But we have different plans

Here we are back once again
The joke′s on us, I can't pretend
That this won′t finally be the end
Of skies forever clear
And all we all hold dear


There's nowhere left for you to run
Your future here has just begun
The biting cold, the bitter sun
Your every move controlled
There were others just like you
Thought that they would make it through
The gauntlet of the warriors who
Are wired to defend
Are wired to defend
Are wired to defend
King and country conquered lands
And words from God above

Here we are back once again
The joke′s on us, I can't pretend
That this won't finally be the end
Of skies forever clear
And all we all hold dear

Here we are, here we are
The orphans of the universe
Drowning in a drop of water
Putting faith in sons and daughters
Here we are, here we are
No peace upon the earth
Generations fall behind us
While the future burns inside us

Here we are, here we are
Here we are, here we are
