Expectations Lyrics

Expectations lyrics

Now all the lies are beginning to show

And you're not the country that I used to know

I loved you once from my head to my toe

But now my belief is shaken



And all your ways are so untrue

No one breaks promises the way that you do

You guided me, I trusted you

But now my illusion's shaken



Thought this empire would be here

At least a thousand years

But all the expectations and aspirations

Slowly disappear



Now all the lies have gone on too long

And a million apologies can't right the wrong

Soldiers die but the lies go on

But soon we will awaken



In our expectations for the future

We were not to know

We had expectations, now we've reached

As far as we can go



And all your manners are too, too polite

Just to prove that your conscious is white and bright

You had your day so get ready for the night

For another dawn is breaking



We had expectations, now we've reached

As far as we can go
