Empire
Dust settles as we crawl from our hovels
The liberator's met with resistance last night
And the bodies must be dug from the piles of brokenness
How do you cope with never ending nothingness?
Mother, Brother, Sister, all wrapped up in linen
Laid to rest in the dump at the edge of town
All so the Empire of "god" can keep up its image
"Their deeds are evil and violence is in their heart"
Daddy shipped out today
I'm left behind to take care of the family
He's gonna save their souls
Their filthy heathen souls
One day when I grow up
I'm gonna be just like him
Fighting for democracy
Giving hope to downtrodden
You're standing tall
Not for very long
You sold your soul
The devil has come
It's not like you weren't warned
You sold your soul
And now the devil has come
Cling to your mask of Christianity
All deception is ripped away
Murderers, thieves
Blinded, blinded by greed
"Be you gone from me"
Blessed are the poor in spirit
(The Lord is angry with all nations)
Blessed are those who mourn
(His wrath is on all their armies)
Blessed are the meek
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness
(He will totally destroy them)
Blessed are the merciful
(Their slain will be thrown out)
Blessed are the pure in heart
(Their dead bodies will throw up a stench)
Blessed are the peacemakers
(The mountains will be soaked with their blood)
Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness
Murder without recourse
Drop bombs indiscriminately
Children cry out, covered in blood
You wash your hands but it doesn't come off
I sow your fields with salt
I drink from your hollowed skull
I know exactly what you are
And so will everyone else
I am your plague
I am your plague
I am come for you
Now all will see
You're standing tall
Not for very long
You sold your soul
The devil has come
It's not like you weren't warned
You sold your soul
And now the devil has come
Turn on your own
Rip yourself to shreds
Destroyer of nations
This is your end
The liberator's met with resistance last night
And the bodies must be dug from the piles of brokenness
How do you cope with never ending nothingness?
