Lyrics
Empire Theory
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.
And so his epic began
With the touch of pen to paper
Had he forfeit liberty?
Was equality greater?
His blameless head... (2x)
And what of my tale?
Would it ever be sung?
Could I live through the war?
To spill the words from my tongue?
Or would we both end up dead? (2x)
Was it worse to bid farewell
Than to watch him fall?
Was his life worth ten others, ten others
Killed with merciless gail?
We'd learn to paint the sands red...
Would my hand be steady now
To commit this awful task?
We'd learn to paint the sands red
Spew forward heated shells
From the trigger in my grasp?
We'd learn to paint the sands red
