Promised Me the World
This place is not a home
This place is just a tomb
It's the tomb of the king
He took everything
We built him a temple
And he locked us in
Aberration
You deviate from the promises
That you have laid before
And you still lay more
You lie to the nation
And perpetuate
That the choices you make
Are based on freedom
Instead of your sick and lusting power trip
Hungry
We're treasured like a whore
We gave you everything, everything
But still you wanted more
Empty is the king that we adore
He promised us everything, everything
Then turned and locked the door
Complications
I lent you a hand
And you reeled me in
For the rest of my arm
With your liars charm
Your fascination
Is so far beyond
The thoughts and the dreams
Of a simple man
Consumed with the goal
To take everything that you can
Hungry
We're treasured like a whore
When we gave you everything, everything
But still you wanted more
Empty is the king that we adore
He promised us everything, everything
Then turned and locked the door
You promised me the world
You promised me the world
You promised me the world
You promised me the world
This place is not a home
We built this night and day for you
While you lead us along
You promised us the world
This place is just a tomb
It's the tomb of the king
He took everything
We built him a temple
And he locked us in
Aberration
You deviate from the promises
That you have laid before
And you still lay more
You lie to the nation
And perpetuate
That the choices you make
Are based on freedom
Instead of your sick and lusting power trip
Hungry
We're treasured like a whore
We gave you everything, everything
But still you wanted more
Empty is the king that we adore
He promised us everything, everything
Then turned and locked the door
Complications
I lent you a hand
And you reeled me in
For the rest of my arm
With your liars charm
Your fascination
Is so far beyond
The thoughts and the dreams
Of a simple man
Consumed with the goal
To take everything that you can
Hungry
We're treasured like a whore
When we gave you everything, everything
But still you wanted more
Empty is the king that we adore
He promised us everything, everything
Then turned and locked the door
You promised me the world
You promised me the world
You promised me the world
You promised me the world
This place is not a home
We built this night and day for you
While you lead us along
You promised us the world
