Lyrics
The tide is changing, the moon it grows
In search of reason, but it never showed
For it lives in silence and idleness
Buried in the masses of the powerless

Among lost rebels, I'm on the run
Away from facing the western sun
But from the distance I saw it coming
Now I'm the victor who's left with nothing

Is this a hoax
Are we a fable for the common folk
And time tells me
To run from the conventions in history
Ignore the words that we are told
'Cause nothing matters when the story's getting old
But will we fall to prove it all

Are we distorted with every word
Radicals or sheep following the herd
The defining moments are swiftly coming
Will we be the victor who's left with nothing

Is this a hoax
Are we just soldiers dying off the coast
And time tells me
To run from recurring themes in history
Ignore the words that we are told
'Cause nothing matters when the story's getting old
But will we fall to prove it all

The strength is lost
It died for an unknown cause
Far from home, on strange lands
To feed empire's demands
What if we fought
For something we thought
Was real to us
Like compassion and trust

Is this a hoax
Are we a fable in the books they wrote
Concerning agony
Over who we are and where we wanna be
Ignore the words that we are told
'Cause nothing matters when the story's getting old
But will we fall to prove it all
