Empire Lyrics

Throughout history
We've seen his ilk
Intoxicated by
The power he wields
In his grandiose
Imperial dream
The end always
Justifies the means

In his willingness
To exaggerate
He didn't think twice
Or even hesitate
To hype and lie
To the people whose trust
He abused with a smirk
Of self-righteousness
Empire
Empire

Where was the outcry
And voice of dissent
Who dare defy
This president
Who from his bully
Pulpit decreed
Traitor is he
Whom disagrees
Empire
Empire

The emperor has no clothes
He's alone in a crowd of peers
The palace has no mirrors

When fascism comes
It'll come here
Under the guise of God
Nationalism and fear
It'll come with slogans
And a patriots tag
In the form of a cross
Draped in a flag
Empire
Empire
Empire
Empire
