Empire

Smoldering, bracing for what might begin
Imbibing the bitterness, snuffing out the light within
Deform and redefine, emulate and amplify
Shaping what's to come, feeding on the pain we hide

Flickering out again

Speak your mind, deliver what you feel inside
Renounce your autonomy, take your place within the hive
Framing the other side, as everything that you despise
Fomenting the dissonance, that seems to be your true desire

Once again into the fire
No more prayers to send, there will be nothing left

Burrowing deeper, desperate to engage
And we rise to it
Feeding on the hate inside
Blinded by our rage, hastening the end
Double down and twist the knife, pretender to the throne
While you mourn another life, and reap what you sow

You'll reap what you sow
You'll reap what you sow
