Fall Of The Empire Lyrics

Amplifier Fall Of The Empire

thesis and antithesis
go destroy your opposite
dividing and conquering
worked your fingers to the bone
bring the creatures two by two
money makers to the sword
raised an empire there to leave
standing for a thousand years

a thousand years

but who put the willing in their armies?
who put the bloodlust in their servitude?
who put the flame throwers on the playground?
who turned the children into soldiers to follow you?

HEY

are you waiting for the fall?

well isn’t it about time?
it’s so inevitable
you’ve come here with nothing at all

fire and brimstone preacher man
know that holy scripture say
eat alive the children
and sail their souls away
into the wilderness
into virgin skulls and bones
master of the unknown world
until the day you die

the day you die

but who put the willing in their armies?
who put the bloodlust in their servitude?
who put the flame throwers on the playground?
who turned the children into soldiers to follow you?
well who let corruption in the heartland?
who are the killers in sheep’s clothing?
who wait to proclaim each new conversion?
hail each seizure and those who follow you

well are you waiting for the fall?

well isn’t it about time?
it’s so inevitable
you’ve come here with nothing at all

HEY
