Lyrics and translation

Original

Forces from the sidelines pushing for a race against time.
Tactics too depleted, only to face a certain defeat.
Hey now, it's not random if we're the ones to cause a storm.
It's an honest game, ignoring all the combined retail and risks.
Gambling with our common fate to quench the thirst of you.
No time for the masses to be informed, to have a say, gonna win the race, to swim the race, a race to lose control.
Intentions don't matter much as the dominoes start to fall.
Hey now, it's not random.
We're the ones to cause a storm.
Hey, it's not random if we rise just to become fall.
Hey now, it's not random.
It's everything all over again.
Hey now, it's not random.
So we're the ones that leave the first scar
