The frame of Empire
Beast wrought of fallen stars
Living tome of blasphemer speaks
Now the stern-faced king will rise
With peace upon his lips
And lies in his soul
In the name of equal rights
He will claim the voice of all

His standard will be raised
Upon a hill of gold
Heavy crowns bent to his will
As prophets long ago foretold
He will mock the name of God
He will claim it for his own
Cause every knee to bow and scrape
Before the tyrant throne

The heart is cut, still beating, from the titan's gilded form
Brazen-faced it stands, not aware of what is gone
Oh, pen and parchment, bone and skin, crucify all thoughts within
Sign away soul and troubled mind
I can see and yet I'm blind
Refresh the tree of liberty with the blood of traitorous demagogue
Lest freedom's taste grow stale, and ambivalence prevail, under sway of newly formed imperium
Scattered seeds of discontent from ruminating dissidents, armchair rebels wage a war of empty words
Bureaucratic fingers choke off breath, and yet it lingers, long enough to spit defiance in the face of empty triumph

Where wouldst thou go, that I would not follow you
I know the freedom of which you dream
Servile minds, in harmony harnessed now
A new era built on the backs of slaves

The guillotine descends
Heads to baskets fall
Traitors, ere in thought or deed
Their skulls are trophies on the wall
Beyond the piled bodies
Gulag's widen gleaming jaws
Dissenters voices silenced
By nightmares swallowed whole

"I am the desolate one, scourge of mankind, son of the unclean
"I am destroyer made flesh, holding keys to the abyss
"I bring the end of the age

Where wouldst thou go, that I would not follow you
I know the freedom of which you dream
Servile minds, in harmony harnessed now
A new era built on the backs of slaves

To the last I grapple with thee
From hells heart I stab at thee
For hates sake, I spit my breath at thee
