[Verse 1]
Somewhere in
Dark corners
I know
Something is wrong
No fear
No talking
Just this long wait for pain
Scream scream
We're going down
My centurion dies

[Chorus]
All I can do now is wait for the noise
All I can do now is wait for the noise

[Verse 2]
I'm so helpless and
I could just cry inside
"No! No!"
Oh God
Look at the speed
We're going in
So this
Is death and
It's so
Calm, I'm surprised

[Chorus]
All I can do now is wait for noise
And all I can do now is wait for the noise

[Instrumental break]

[Verse 3]
This machine
No sign of life
Only the whisper of air
She won't turn
She won't climb
She won't stop
She won't fly
I'm falling
I'm silent
I'm thinking
I'm waiting for this thing to end

[Chorus]
And all I can do now is wait for the noise
All I can do now is wait for the noise
And all I can do now is wait for the noise
And all I can do now is wait for the noise
And all I can do now is wait for the noise
And all I can do now is wait for the noise
And all I can do now is wait for the noise
