Ashen Empire Lyrics

Liars, false prophets

Super sizing all the coffins

Ego and hubris

Smiling through the sordid bliss

Here come the wolves to the feast

With all the sheep at their feet

There's no sign of remorse

Until the end of the course

It's like the blind lead the blind

The deaf and dumb right behind

Hanging on every word

It's how they slaughter the herd

This ashen empire bears no crown

They rob it blind as it burns to the ground

What remains in the wake of the flame

Another mountain of sorrow and shame

Sinners, no saviors

Disorders birthed for all behaviour

Power and greed

The trough at which the sick pigs feed

Here come the wolves to the feast

With all the sheep at their feet

There's no sign of remorse

Until the end of the course

It's like the blind lead the blind

The deaf and dumb right behind

Hanging on every word

It's how they slaughter the herd

It's how they slaughter the herd

It's how they slaughter the herd

This ashen empire bears no crown

They rob it blind as it burns to the ground

What remains in the wake of the flame

Another mountain of sorrow and shame

It's like the lessons learned get washed away

The blood in the sand never leaves a stain

All that remains is ash and a fairy tale

An ashen empire built on the frail

Build an empire, watch it fall

Out of the ashes the phoenix can't crawl

Build an empire, watch it fall

Out of the ashes the phoenix can't crawl

It's like the blind lead the blind

The deaf and dumb right behind

Hanging on every word

It's how they slaughter the herd

It's how they slaughter the herd

It's how they slaughter the herd

This ashen empire bears no crown

They rob it blind as it burns to the ground

What remains in the wake of the flame

Another mountain of sorrow and shame

This ashen empire bears no crown

They rob it blind as it burns to the ground

What remains in the wake of the flame

Another mountain of sorrow and shame
