I’ll Be Waiting Lyrics

[Verse 1]
They swept across the land
They did not leave a thing
They did not leave a person
A stone or a tree
They did not leave anything
They did not leave anything
All that’s left is sand
All that’s left is sand

[Verse 2]
I remember, father
I remember him
Every minute I remember
Every moment
Now I hate everyone
Now I hate everyone
Before, I used to love
Before, I used to love

[Chorus]
One day, thorns shall grow
One day, thorns shall grow
From their graves
When they return
Thorns will grow
Over their graves
I will be waiting

[Verse 3]
And when they return
I will be waiting
I will not leave a person
Standing
I will not leave anything
I will not leave anything
All I’ll leave is sand
All I’ll leave is sand

[Chorus]
And then thorns shall grow
And then thorns shall grow
From their graves
When they return
Thorns shall grow
Over their graves
I will be waiting
When they return
Thorns shall grow
Over their graves
I will be waiting
