Empire Of Ashes Lyrics
I see your need, your greed, your disease
You'd crush the world just to hold it in your hand
So take your place in the kingdom you crave
You'll destroy it all 'till there's nothing left to save
I see the world burn in your eyes
I see the world burn in your eyes
Scorch the earth tonight
Bring the world down to its knees
Smash open the sky
Fire falling down like rain
Down your kingdom crashes
All alone in your empire of ashes
Who's gonna save a soul that never had a heart?
So you can say your prayers, it won't redeem the past
Bury the truth 'till the earth begins to break
You'll destroy them all 'till there's no one left to hate
I see the world burn in your eyes
(I watch you justify)
I see the world burn in your eyes
(All who die)
Scorch the earth tonight
Bring the world down to its knees
Smash open the sky
Fire falling down like rain
Down your kingdom crashes
All alone in your empire of ashes
Tell me now, do you feel the weight
Of your crown, of all the lives you take?
Was it worth the price they paid
To sit alone and watch your throne decay?
You'd crush the world just to hold it in your hand
So take your place in the kingdom you crave
You'll destroy it all 'till there's nothing left to save
I see the world burn in your eyes
Bring the world down to its knees
Smash open the sky
Fire falling down like rain
Down your kingdom crashes
All alone in your empire of ashes
So you can say your prayers, it won't redeem the past
Bury the truth 'till the earth begins to break
You'll destroy them all 'till there's no one left to hate
(I watch you justify)
I see the world burn in your eyes
(All who die)
Bring the world down to its knees
Smash open the sky
Fire falling down like rain
Down your kingdom crashes
All alone in your empire of ashes
Of your crown, of all the lives you take?
Was it worth the price they paid
To sit alone and watch your throne decay?

Sad to realize that humans as a whole seem to desire this future. It's almost as if somehow subconsciously people are wanting some sort of apocalypse - or at least there actions aren't deterring one from occurring. I think this song is a like a foreshadowing or a warning of this and the possible aftermath if it were to become a reality.
