Empire Of Lies

Illusions of endlessness
Will fall now dead behind
Mankind's eternal tomb
Greet new arrivals
All poisoned in the wretched womb
Born blind and numb into a world
Finite, conditional
In shallow graves

Existence reaped
Dragged out to defeat
Existence so bleak
Withered lies our just relief

Deep in the crypts of time
We bury our secrets
The final passing of
The breed of shallow fates
Taken away
In torment and in strife
Where once was light
Now fades to grey
This is our

Empire - Empire of lies
Empire - Empire of lies

Pulled by the strings of time
From sickness into birth
Borne on the fraying wings of death
The barren wastelands call
What pitiful life remains
Trampled into the earth

Existence reaped
Dragged out to defeat
Existence so bleak
Withered lies our justified relief

Empire - Empire of lies
Empire - Empire of lies

That burned our world
A candle made from us
That burned at both ends

We started this fire
That burned our world
A candle made from us
That burned at both ends
