Builders of Empires

Not here to end your suffering We'll be fanning the flames when your temples burn down We'll be fanning the flames When your towers of decadence crash down around your heads If you are looking for the blame We'll be fanning the flames Between the Hammer and the Holy Cross, you'll land On the backs of the broken, we stand All your blood and suffering All your self-inflicted pain On the backs of the broken, we stand When you fall to your knees from carrying the cross When all the pain you suffered just is not enough Between the Hammer and the Holy Cross, you'll land On the backs of the broken, we stand All your blood and suffering All your self-inflicted pain On the backs of the broken, we stand Burn it Tear it down Burn it Tear it down Between the Hammer and the Holy Cross, you'll land On the backs of the broken, we stand All your blood and suffering All your self-inflicted pain On the backs of the broken, we stand

Out of the deep Out of the ashes of a broken world Out of the dust Out of the embers of a dying earth We will rise We will tear down your idols Share the skin of a bag of age Like a phoenix we'll rise from the fire Watch this world go down in flames Endlessly, this parade of violence Builders of empires We will never fade away Out of the deep Out of the darkest places inside your head Hide all your fears Hide all the doors you lock inside yourself We will march We will burn you like witches We will batter your towers down We will charge right through your defenses Hold you under 'till you drown Endlessly We will march in silence Builders of empires Like a phoenix from the flames Rise now, brothers Never fade Never fear their armies Never yield Never live your life a slave Rise now, sisters Never fade Never fear their armies Never yield Never live your life a slave What we fought for will be deadless Rise now brothers Never fade Never fear their armies Never yield Never live your life a slave What we filled here, will not be raised! Endlessly Endlessly Eternally Like a phoenix from the flames

Try with all your might to keep me out of your sunlight. Raise your army of meek followers. Preach to converted weaklings, celebrate your impotence Wallow in your mediocrity You cut me right down the middle With guilty innocence You killed the world just a little Make life worth a whole lot less Is there no more to you? Is this all you can do? All I can see is sad loneliness Truth makes your black heart bleed I shine a light upon your life I show the world just what you are Tear out the scam, reveal your face Now every breath has been a waste You cut me right down the middle With guilty innocence You killed the world just a little Make life worth a whole lot less Is there no more to you? Is this all you can do? All I can see is sad loneliness Truth makes your black heart bleed You cut me right down the middle You killed the world just a little Start your bleeding! Is there no more to you? Is this all you can do? All I can see is sad loneliness Truth makes your black heart bleed

Take a look into these eyes Look upon the one whose sees I do you hell above the skies And I'm gonna tell the critics they have a lack of fate Look upon the one who puts your deeper into your disgrace Conquer all And take your crown When you fall You stay down Pain and feel these heavy hands Now they're closing tightly round your neck as you anticipate Conquer all And take your crown When you fall You stay down All the love in the world won't save you When I got you down on your knees All the pity you feel redeem you Well I erase you like a disease You tore my heart out of me Cut me and left me to bleed ?? You are not my enemy Conquer all And take your crown When you fall You stay down Conquer all And take your crown When you fall You stay down Conquer all And take your crown When you fall You stay down

Worn out boots, treading on the highway Vulture moon, learing down on me The hot wind blows and the air is thin Grains of sand fill the cracks of my skin Only tried to live a good life, leave my past behind Now I'll pay you back in kind, yeah Born to end lives, never looking back Righting the wrongs done to me Born to end lives Saint of killers I'll always be Chased the good Lord out of heaven. Shot the devil through the brain. Only tried to live a good life, leave my past behind Now I'll pay you back in kind, yeah! Born to end lives, never looking back Righting the wrongs done to me Born to end lives Yeah! Only tried to live a good life and leave my past behind You visited death on those I love, I'll pay you back in kind I'll march right up to heaven and sit upon your throne. Do to you what I did to devil and rest my weary bones. Born to end lives, never looking back Righting the wrongs done to me Born to end lives Saint of killers I'll always be I will Saint of killers I'll always be.
