Waiting for a Savior

Since ancient times we've told our tales The songs were sung, a chosen one who would prevail A man of superhuman might A curse undone and glory won, the world made right Why still waiting for a savior? The prophets just as blind as you or I So where will you go when your hero doesn't show And all your signs were only lights in the sky? And now from ancient times remain Barbaric lore and holy wars we fight in vain And with no path out of the gray Just our short sight without a light to guide our way Why still waiting for a savior? The prophets just as blind as you or I So where will you go when your hero doesn't show And all your signs were only lights Seeking glory in the violence, every war we wage Searching the past for a garden or a golden age Speeding forward towards a future, with our fingers burned Standing empty-eyed and grinning, with no lessons learned Why still waiting for a savior? The prophets just as blind as you or I So where will you go when your hero doesn't show And all your signs were only lights in the sky?
