Your Glory Is Dead

It comes from the darkest corners of my soul I feel the flame rising in me Hatred burns my heart Hatred burns my mind It’s time to stop the plague All the vultures will drown The streets are full of blood All the vermin will die Their world stands on the brink They’re staring down into the deepest abyss But it’s too late to make a turn back They will look up and shout, “Save us!” And I’ll look down and whisper, “No.” Die alone in your golden coffins The times they are changing I’ll take off your crowns Now you are worthless Your glory is dead I remember every word you said I remember every lash I was given I remember every scar on my neck Now remember my face This is the end And now you have nothing to say The leash is not in your hands I repeat, the times they are changing All you have is a broken throne Don’t even try to stop me All you have is a broken throne All the vultures will drown The streets are full of blood All the vermin will die Their world stands on the brink They’re staring down into the deepest abyss But it’s too late to make a turn back They will look up and shout, “Save us!” And I’ll look down and whisper, “No.” Die alone in your golden coffins The times they are changing I’ll take off your crowns Now you are worthless Your glory is dead
