Charlemagne Esteem (2018 Avarice In Wonderland) Lyrics

Grey clouds blot out the sky

No sun no time no silver linings show

Above the aqueducts and roads

That reel the drifters back to Rome

The elements have plans for architects

To catch each man and float his body home

By day the builders toil by night

By night they hide behind their walls of stone

Protection from the beast the horde

The vile horror of the unknown

The stories have been told and honed with words

So sharp and cold they'll cut you to the bone

There is a boy who's counting sheepish clouds

Waiting for sleep to come

Unaware of the growing forces

Pushing industry along

The gears will grind his gods down into

More efficient ones there's much work to be done

Columns and rows of soldiers

Borders stretching sea to shiny sea

A new world order purges cultures

In the name of unity

But if it's kneel or die at gunpoint I'll take death

And God Damn yo ho it's the pirates life for me

There is a king who struggles

With the pieces on the chessboard

Campaigning to liberate

Heathens from their dark overlords

But when the kingdoms are all one

Where will there be a place for a wretch like me

There is a god who's rolling

Marbles across heavenly bodies

And planting blueprints

For delicate wonders into tiny seeds

There are no secrets kept not even from

A worthless servile scumbag fuck like me
