Sacrificial Kingdoms Lyrics

It does not take much to destroy a man
Give him rope and he will hang
Same can be said for a dynasty
So fat with itself, can no longer feed

Rome will burn when it's time has come
Ottoman tribes fade away
The social cults empower puppet men
Leaving me to pull the strings

(Chorus)
Kingdoms fall to the ground
Crushed by their own greed
An unquenching need to destroy
Empires fall by my design
Lust for power speeds
Time people need to destroy

Your future's clear if you can look back
Every culture's earned their fate
Your gluttony as my tool of choice
You've proved your worth less every day

(Chorus)
Kingdoms fall to the ground
Crushed by their own greed
An unquenching need to destroy
Empires fall by my design
Lust for power speeds
Time people need to destroy

Cover art for Sacrificial Kingdoms lyrics by Iced Earth

This album picks up where Framing Armageddon leaves off - at the birth of Set Abominae:

"Over the course of the next two thousand years, he crushes kingdoms under their own greed and thirst for conquest, controls the weak through the manipulation of religion, and declares his own godhood, appealing to the lies and self deceit in every human being (Sacrificial Kingdoms, Something Wicked Pt3, Divide Devour)." -wiki
