Written by Jesse Kongos

Tears are shed, a shame
I should have known
I should have thought
I could have thought
Before I cast that stone

The waves radiate far and wide
There's a ringing in my ears
For a minute
I think I'm going blind

Tears are shed, a shame
I should have known
The crown weighs heavy
Heavy as I sit back in my throne

I say hey, it wasn't me
I'm just a pawn
But the devil's not into details
Where have all the heroes gone?

Hey I don't know
Why don't you tell me?

The dream is broken
Now the mind must be woken

So what are you waiting for
Tell me what's the hesitation?
What are you waiting for
Tell me what is the delay?

Hey I don't know...

The victor earns the title "The Great"
All the mysteries get unlearned
All the history just becomes a string of dates

The hordes overrun in a clean sweep
Destroying everything that was built
Where's the glory in making mothers weep?

Hey I don't know...

The dream is broken
Now the mind must be woken

So what are you waiting for
Tell me what's the hesitation?
What are you waiting for
Your special invitation?
What are you waiting for
Tell me what is the delay?

Hey I don't know...

  • I kept listening to this song thinking that it must be some sort of political statement-read the lyrics, and now I'm quite certain that it is. Jessi Kongos is apparently an amazing writer. I don't know if he writes the lyrics for all of the songs, but I do know that every time I hear a Kongos song that has amazing lyrics it end up being one that he wrote. This song is the perfect anthem for the major activist movements that are happening in the world today.

  • if you're looking for me, i'll be in here (listening)
