Empire

Here I am with my empire I'll bring you to your knees Ebb and flow with my desire Cause it's all that you've been taught to be Yeah, I'm the bastard son Of what's been overcome And again we plant the seed So place your fork to mouth Eat, consume, be proud Of what I let you see Cause we've made quite sure you can never leave Here I am with my empire I'll bring you to your knees Ebb and flow with my desire Cause it's all that you've been taught to be I speak, you throw parades Ignore the sense of rage Welling up inside Pay no mind to what we do Cause we'll sell it all to you In modern luxuries And we've made quite sure you believe you're free Here I am with my empire I'll bring you to your knees Ebb and flow with my desire Cause it's all that you've been taught to be From the cradle to the grave We try not to be saved From what we own For next to nothing spent Turn your dollars into cents Fighting for the right to die alone (Just believe, believe you're free) Cause you're on your own It doesn't matter just be sure That this is our empire, this is war Forgotten heroes Chessboard roles To make you think you're something more But you're on your own Here I am with my empire I'll bring you to your knees Ebb and flow with my desire Cause it's all that you've been taught to be
