[Verse] EEadd9, E From the ragged fence C#m C#madd4, C#m to the cosmic bends G#m we have payed our way with eagerness Amaj7 and forced the world to make some sense
EEadd9, E In this endless space, C#m C#madd4, C#m looking for Gods given grace G#m Among countless scattered dying stars Amaj7 by the fireplaces we found some comfort
[Chorus] F#m Waiting all to serve a greater purpose DC#mC#m/BF#7/A#A or to join the cosmic circus now
[Verse 2] Emaj7 Emaj7add9, Emaj7 From the garden greens C#m C#madd4, C#m to the mountain streams G#mG#m7 We all worked the land and payed in sweat Amaj7 while sweet illusions were passing by
Like fading tribe on the ocean wide In a random flash we live and die Searching all religions, reason why
[Chorus] Waiting all to serve a greater purpose or to join the cosmic circus now
[Verse 3] (Same as Verse 2) From the habbit hole, to the frozen poles we have filled our hearts with poetry while science was our leading star
On to million suns where our fading memories dance While we try so hard to understand the untold genesis of man
[Chorus] Waiting all to serve a greater purpose or to join the cosmic circus now
[Ending]
