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
