Perpetrator
Fire engulfs us, violence culls us
Every empire falls and now our time has come
Fire engulfs us, violence culls us
Every empire falls and now our time has come
As I observe this madness from the confines of isolation
I begin to ask myself, is there purpose in defiance?
I watch the masses elevate a masochistic patriarch of hate
Who's only aim is to laugh in the face of fate
In our misguidedness
We're ready to fucking rip this world apart
Humanity splits and throws the blame from side to side
What have we done?
Isn't it amazing how we're susceptible to triviality?
Like we're trapped in a dream and
The horrors of the world do not exist
Intolerant to empathy
We shy away from doing the right thing
Holding hope in our hearts that everything will be okay
Shall we close our eyes and wish it all away?
Instead of taking chances to wake up
Why do we stay?
We believe the lies and deceit based on the hate in our own hearts
I can't believe we got this far
Look at us, we're at the pinnacle
Will we be revered as gods?
When will you realise that you're the perpetrator
Fire engulfs us, violence culls us
Every empire falls and now our time has come
They poison us with what we fear but do not understand
Weak for words colliding with our insecurities
They take advantage so we're easier to segregate
In the name of divide and conquer
And when the end has come
We'll rise up from the ashes
Embracing the heat from the sun
Asking ourselves how did this come to pass?
We believe the lies and deceit based on the hate in our own hearts
I can't believe we got this far
Look at us, we're at the pinnacle
Will we be revered as gods?
When will you realise that you're the perpetrator
Fire engulfs us, violence culls us
Every empire falls and now our time has come
Every empire falls and now our time has come
Every empire falls and now our time has come
Fire engulfs us, violence culls us
Every empire falls and now our time has come
As I observe this madness from the confines of isolation
I begin to ask myself, is there purpose in defiance?
I watch the masses elevate a masochistic patriarch of hate
Who's only aim is to laugh in the face of fate
In our misguidedness
We're ready to fucking rip this world apart
Humanity splits and throws the blame from side to side
What have we done?
Isn't it amazing how we're susceptible to triviality?
Like we're trapped in a dream and
The horrors of the world do not exist
Intolerant to empathy
We shy away from doing the right thing
Holding hope in our hearts that everything will be okay
Shall we close our eyes and wish it all away?
Instead of taking chances to wake up
Why do we stay?
We believe the lies and deceit based on the hate in our own hearts
I can't believe we got this far
Look at us, we're at the pinnacle
Will we be revered as gods?
When will you realise that you're the perpetrator
Fire engulfs us, violence culls us
Every empire falls and now our time has come

Weak for words colliding with our insecurities

We believe the lies and deceit based on the hate in our own hearts
I can't believe we got this far
Look at us, we're at the pinnacle
Will we be revered as gods?
When will you realise that you're the perpetrator
Fire engulfs us, violence culls us
Every empire falls and now our time has come
Every empire falls and now our time has come
