๐ Lyrics
Now, they crumble the kingdom
Tied their hands to their feet
Burned, bereft of forgiveness
City a smoldering heap
From ancient ages to modern times
These untold atrocities have amassed
Permeating the ground, the soil soaks their blood
Nevertheless, this headlong struggle for supremacy
Persists throughout our violent history
So, we sing ourselves to sleep
When the strong overtake the weak
The cities burn, the bridges bend
Now we lay our heads to rest
So, we sing ourselves to sleep
When the strong overtake the weak
The cities burn, the bridges bend
Now we lay our heads to rest
Now, they crumble the kingdom
Tied their hands to their feet
Burned, bereft of forgiveness
City a smoldering heap
Powers of new blood
Now play god with maniacal ease
They shall enslave all
Nevertheless, this headlong struggle for supremacy
Persists throughout our violent history
Powers unite, joining to extinguish the fight
Pacifying, undermining
Some survive; others shall be cast alight
Into a burning pit of fire
Immolate; a creed now disintegrates
Never to be seen again
Caged, confined; opposition brutalized
By an unfamiliar dogma
Petrified; as the wrong now becomes the right
Persecution of a people
Some survive; others shall be cast alight
Into a burning pit of fire
Some survive; others shall be cast alight
Into a burning pit of fire
Some survive; others shall be cast alight
Into a burning pit of fire
Isolated, wallowing in the shame
No resurgence
Preparations for the next war begin
This cannot be escaped
The world holds its breath, awaiting death
Victorious, now the victor sings
And rewrites the cold facts of history
To present their greatness to their offspring
This process cycles continuously
So, we sing ourselves to sleep
When the strong overtake the weak
The cities burn, the bridges bend
Now we lay our heads to rest
Victorious, now the victor sings
And rewrites the cold facts of history
To present their greatness to their offspring
This process cycles continuously
Tied their hands to their feet
Burned, bereft of forgiveness
City a smoldering heap
From ancient ages to modern times
These untold atrocities have amassed
Permeating the ground, the soil soaks their blood
Nevertheless, this headlong struggle for supremacy
Persists throughout our violent history
So, we sing ourselves to sleep
When the strong overtake the weak
The cities burn, the bridges bend
Now we lay our heads to rest
So, we sing ourselves to sleep
When the strong overtake the weak
The cities burn, the bridges bend
Now we lay our heads to rest
Now, they crumble the kingdom
Tied their hands to their feet
Burned, bereft of forgiveness
City a smoldering heap
Powers of new blood
Now play god with maniacal ease
They shall enslave all
Nevertheless, this headlong struggle for supremacy
Persists throughout our violent history
Powers unite, joining to extinguish the fight
Pacifying, undermining
Some survive; others shall be cast alight
Into a burning pit of fire
Immolate; a creed now disintegrates
Never to be seen again
Caged, confined; opposition brutalized
By an unfamiliar dogma
Petrified; as the wrong now becomes the right
Persecution of a people
Some survive; others shall be cast alight
Into a burning pit of fire
Some survive; others shall be cast alight
Into a burning pit of fire
Some survive; others shall be cast alight
Into a burning pit of fire
Isolated, wallowing in the shame
No resurgence
Preparations for the next war begin
This cannot be escaped
The world holds its breath, awaiting death

And rewrites the cold facts of history

This process cycles continuously
So, we sing ourselves to sleep
When the strong overtake the weak
The cities burn, the bridges bend
Now we lay our heads to rest
Victorious, now the victor sings
And rewrites the cold facts of history
To present their greatness to their offspring
This process cycles continuously
