Egos and Empires
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
A world of victors & victims
Building egos & empires
Awash in a sea of flames
You know nothing of your shame
With the face of a coward
You run
At the first sight of flames
With the face of a coward
You run
At the first sight of flames
A world of victors & victims
Building egos & empires
A magnificent race
Of filthy beings
Awash in a sea of flames
Taking the innocent
To place the blame
This is the consequence
Of your poor judgment
I will let you know that we are here to say we are breaking the barriers
We are the breath of death
& when we're through there'll be nothing left
A thousand years & counting
& man has yet to change
Will we ever see this change?
Crushed by your own personal demons
That have left you here
You stand abandoned
& with a loss of life
A world of victors & victims
Building egos & empires
A magnificent race
Of filthy beings
In an effort to fill the void
You find you're still fucking nothing
The crushing weight has you held down
& bound by the chains of mortification
You can't stand the truth of knowing
That you're just a caitiff
Cursed by your own personal demons
That have left you here
You stand abandoned
& with a loss of life
A world of victors & victims
Building egos & empires
A magnificent race
Of filthy beings
