Empire

Smoldering, bracing for what might begin Imbibing the bitterness, snuffing out the light within Deform and redefine, emulate and amplify Shaping what's to come, feeding on the pain we hide Flickering out again Speak your mind, deliver what you feel inside Renounce your autonomy, take your place within the hive Framing the other side, as everything that you despise Fomenting the dissonance, that seems to be your true desire Once again into the fire No more prayers to send, there will be nothing left Burrowing deeper, desperate to engage And we rise to it Feeding on the hate inside Blinded by our rage, hastening the end Double down and twist the knife, pretender to the throne While you mourn another life, and reap what you sow You'll reap what you sow You'll reap what you sow
