Empire

The rush of voices fills my ears They speak of wanting, craving, things held dear Mindless roar where many rivers meet Pounding drums, pointless paths trodden by aimless feet In pride we sought to chain the earth and sky We thought to rule all men, we called our god a lie Rendered obsolete, plunged towards obscurity We clung to what once was, and what will never again be Aborted rise of humanity, the wolves are closing in From dust we rose to rule the world, now to dust we go again In all of this we never wondered why As knowledge advanced, morality declined Humanistic fools with ponderous degrees Argue obligatory adherence to morality Aborted rise of humanity, the wolves are closing in From dust we rose to rule the world, now to dust we go again Behold the fall of Empire, you fools that cheer the end Yet still you think we rule the world, as into madness we descend The light of life has left their eyes Able to focus for only moments at a time Fascinated by flickering displays Fixate on distraction till the end of days Aborted rise of humanity, the wolves are closing in From dust we rose to rule world, now to dust we go again Behold the fall of Empire, you fools that bring the end While thinking we still rule the world, as into madness we descend
