lyrics

WAITING FOR THE BARBARIANS

Been to hell and back again,
I ain’t keeping score.
Seen it all fall by the way and gone.
Plans gone off track again;
See what’s in store
If I stand beside the weak
‘til they grow strong.

No one’s bothering
In a reservoir of melting comfort.
Gathering in the baleful light
With all of the big mouths

Chorus:
Hollering
Arguing right from wrong
While we’re hovering,
Waiting for the barbarians.

Toying with duality,
Trying to make it plain.
Mixing up the sweet stuff with the mean.
Sober neutrality:
Calling loss your gain.
Everything washed but nothing clean.

Still we’re following
Through a reservoir of melting darkness.
Gathering on a hateful night
With all of the big mouths

Chorus

Still they’re hollering
Arguing right from wrong
While we’re still hovering,
Waiting for the barbarians.

Waiting for the barbarians.
Waiting for the barbarians.
