Empire Nightmare

Empire Nightmare

Every time I turn around
You’re there egging on the violence
You sold your souls cheap
Now you help the lost to rot ours

Nations are fallen below
Grey clouds fill the empirical skies
Smoke from buring love
Rises from the ashes of our freedom

On all sides of the ocean
Of their greed, of this shattered world
Hope is failing faster
Lies fall in storms of fire and T.V.

Media is the weapon
They slow-poison us with daily
Foul songs fill ears
For big business is against us

Terror grips hearts abroad
Fear is all we’re fed by the crown
Anger’s only a step from fear
Lies create the daily illusion

Subversion of the hero
From defender to savage attacker
Revolution’s the new enemey
Subversion of freedom, the constitution

Freedom comes not from death
The seeds sown grow to chaos
On the streets the red will flow
As stars fall and blue rivers dry

As money changes color
It stays in the same bloodied hands
Masters are masters always
And we’re all their clueless slaves

Revolution stands as the key
Our chains can and must fall to dust
From our greyed minds and souls
Removal of the few is set to begin

Our dreams are not buried
They just aren’t woven with greed
We’re waking from the fear
Empire’s nightmare ends tonight
