Imperial Casualties

These muddy streets
Are caked with poverty and deceit
A deadly promise fulfilled
And a culture killed
There's nothing left here, but lies
To change the face
And bleed into the cracks
Of this once proud place

Leave it alone
Just let it be
You don't need to conquer everything that you see

But it's too late now
History can't make a difference anyhow

Bleed this hate
Flee to escape my fate
Dark destiny
Doomed am I
Free to fall
Failed to see
This pain inside of me
My bleeding glass heart
Crystallized agony
I failed to see
This pain inside of me

Go ahead and smile your lies
Deny the problems and avoid the eyes
That plead for recognition
From your senseless ambition
I hope that when you started
You at least had a heart
Maybe it got lost in the money
Where exactly does corruption start?

Leave it alone
Just let it be
You don't need to conquer everything that you see

I am sorry for
All of those who came before
Your land was raped and taken
With a greed so blatant
People murdered for metal
It will never be settled
When I look around all that I see
Are imperial casualties

Bleed this hate
Flee to escape my fate
Dark destiny
Doomed am I
Free to fall
Failed to see
This pain inside of me
My bleeding glass heart
Crystallized agony
I failed to see
This pain inside of me
My bleeding glass heart
Crystallized agony
I failed to see
This pain inside of me
