Empire
The rush of voices fills my ears
They speak of wanting, craving, things held dear
Mindless roar where many rivers meet
Pounding drums, pointless paths trodden by aimless feet
In pride we sought to chain the earth and sky
We thought to rule all men, we called our god a lie
Rendered obsolete, plunged towards obscurity
We clung to what once was, and what will never again be
Aborted rise of humanity, the wolves are closing in
From dust we rose to rule the world, now to dust we go again
In all of this we never wondered why
As knowledge advanced, morality declined
Humanistic fools with ponderous degrees
Argue obligatory adherence to morality
Aborted rise of humanity, the wolves are closing in
From dust we rose to rule the world, now to dust we go again
Behold the fall of Empire, you fools that cheer the end
Yet still you think we rule the world, as into madness we descend
The light of life has left their eyes
Able to focus for only moments at a time
Fascinated by flickering displays
Fixate on distraction till the end of days
Aborted rise of humanity, the wolves are closing in
From dust we rose to rule world, now to dust we go again
Behold the fall of Empire, you fools that bring the end
While thinking we still rule the world, as into madness we descend
They speak of wanting, craving, things held dear
Mindless roar where many rivers meet
Pounding drums, pointless paths trodden by aimless feet
In pride we sought to chain the earth and sky
We thought to rule all men, we called our god a lie
Rendered obsolete, plunged towards obscurity
We clung to what once was, and what will never again be
Aborted rise of humanity, the wolves are closing in
From dust we rose to rule the world, now to dust we go again
In all of this we never wondered why
As knowledge advanced, morality declined
Humanistic fools with ponderous degrees
Argue obligatory adherence to morality
Aborted rise of humanity, the wolves are closing in
From dust we rose to rule the world, now to dust we go again
Behold the fall of Empire, you fools that cheer the end
Yet still you think we rule the world, as into madness we descend
The light of life has left their eyes
Able to focus for only moments at a time
Fascinated by flickering displays
Fixate on distraction till the end of days
Aborted rise of humanity, the wolves are closing in
From dust we rose to rule world, now to dust we go again
Behold the fall of Empire, you fools that bring the end
While thinking we still rule the world, as into madness we descend
