Empire

Times are loaded
Fire pin exploded
Put a pistol to the heart of the world
Dropped a bomb in the ocean

A plague for the ages
Ain't the only contagion
I got bottom line feeders siphoning off my wages
I pledged allegiance
Stood tall in the bleachers
But war crimes and your lies weren't in the agreement
I won't claim your name or clean your dirty secrets

Times are loaded
Fire pin exploded
Put a pistol to the heart of the world
Dropped a bomb in the ocean
All land is stolen
Auctioned and sold off
Going once, twice, gone to the man to work the land with a crowbar

I'll be damned if I die in that empire at the wheel of a war machine
Don't you claim my name on your firearms sent to the Middle East
Watch your fortified wall on your borderline tumble in due time
I may be found down on stolen ground with no crown on my mind
I ain't dying in the empire
I ain't dying in the empire
