The gods are on the side of the stronger
History, written by the victors
Those who created peace
Do so stained in blood
It is only human nature
To hate, those you've injured
And once the killing starts
It's hard to draw a line
Because of their ignorance
They called it, a civilization
Ensnared under slavery, servitude, their submission

To ravage, to slaughter, to usurp, and to call it an empire
We created a desert, and called it peace
To rob, to rape, to plunder, and call it an empire
We created a wasteland, and called it peace

To ravage, to slaughter, to usurp, and to call it an empire
We created a desert, and called it peace
To rob, to rape, to plunder, and to call it an empire
We created a wasteland, and called it peace

What started off as a cause for the righteous
By the holy and pious, who claimed to be just
Is now reduced to violence, in the herd no ideas are allowed to stand above
This immoral, sinful place, sanctimonious faith, lures you in
And their hate filled dogma, calls all free thought sin
Individual thought and skepticism is suppressed, for the sake of all
Burn the texts, burn the knowledge, burn the art
This city in fire will fall

The lies, despair, and fear, leads to superstition
You created an age of decadence, and called it right
Guilt, hate, self-righteous condemnation
You created an age of darkness, under shadow of night
