(Fade out)

Wave Upon Wave Upon Wave
Why bother talking, if nobody's listening,
Blame it on the final phase of your induction.
Why bother talking, if nobody's listening,
Blame it on the firstborn, the firstborn is dead.

There's a knife in my hand,
Covered in blood, I can't understand.

Why, fucker, why?
Wave upon wave, upon, wave upon wave.

Why bother sitting, I can't stand sitting.
Just blame it on someone, it's your own instruction.
Why bother talking, if nobody's listening.
Name it as the firstborn, the firstborn's alive.

There's a knife in my hand,
Covered in blood, I can't understand.

Why, fucker, why?
Why, why, why, why?

I've waited so long, I've waited so long.
To see what it takes.
I can't say no, I can't say no.
To see what it takes.

Ahhhhh, Ahhhhhh, Ahhhhh
Ahhhhh, Ahhhhhh, Ahhhhh

We're letting it go just before time.
Sink to the bottom of our lives.
We're letting it go before our time.
Helping us through our sad lives.

Do you believe in magic?
Do you believe in magic?
Do you believe in magic?
Do you believe in magic?

Wave upon wave, upon, wave upon wave.
