Empty God

Do you remember the past
When earth was cold
When the stories were not similar to those now being told
Of coward lords
Misguided fools
And all the ancient kings had to suffer the same rule
They were forced to bow
Then hung above the city hall
Thereon the next that rises shall be a better one

We all join the choir
To sing the hymns of the end
To see a self-proclaimed leader
Rise from the abyss again
We all join the choir
To sing the hymns of the end
A song of godplaying kings
Sickened by their crowns

The ancestors are looking down on earth
To see the smoke coming from the surface
Silent screams echoing back
So loud they'll change the shape
And the birds fly above a withering earth
To search for fertile lands to fleece
Then see them rot aswell
To build their constructions and temples on the graves of dying culture
To make them burn and fall in a cruel self instigated War

Kill the race
Destroy the earth
Freeze the sun
Devour the universe
Just to start again
Just to start again
When God is asleep again

We all join the choir
To sing the hymns of the end
To see a self-proclaimed leader
Rise from the abyss again
We all join the choir
To sing the hymns of the end
A song of godplaying kings
Sickened by their crowns

Who gave you permission
To be an empty God?
