There Will Be Surprises Lyrics

I hear you calling the exceptions

To your own arbitrary rules

I see you celebrate deception

But you've been fooled

You think you're controlling all this chaos

You think you're the master of your lies

If you think your violence will pay off

You're gonna be surprised

Oh, there will be surprises

You can bet that Babylon was pretty

With gardens lining every gate

What could sink this holy city

But its own weight?

So when every child from hidden corners

Who now escapes your line of sight

Inherits kingdoms with the mourners

Don't be surprised

Oh, there will be surprises

There will be surprises

Well, I've seen humans upward striving

Trying to be more than flesh and blood

Till their ambition leaves them writhing

In the mud

But I saw a human one ascending

Riding clouds across the sky

Overturning and upending, his wounds were glorified

Oh, and there were surprises

There will be surprises

There will be

There will be
