lyrics

I was born to burn this kingdom to the ground

Born to witness kingdoms rise to fall
Born to witness leaders rule, then crawl
What comes up is destined to go down
Distant echoes of a hollow crown

I’ve watched this kingdom rise
I’ll watch this kingdom fall
I will not close by eyes
Until I watch them crawl

I’ve watched this kingdom rise
So one day it can burn
And we will celebrate
Soon, when the tables turn

Buried in dust and time
We’ve waited for the sign
Now that the stars align
We cross the line

To set our people
From the captivity
The social slavery
The real enemy

Babylon system’s an empire
But it’s soon gonna end in fire
Those who reigned in blood we will make bleed
Watch them on each other as they feed

For centuries they try
My people to enslave
So all I’m praying for’s
To dance upon their graves

What’s taken we’ll take back
What’s ruined we’ll restore
The empire we’ll break
Down to it’s fucking core

Burn them down!
Forever
Burn them down!
Together
Burn them down!
With fire
Burn them down!
Empire burn
