|
You will gather all around me |
|
Listen to a tale that lives on |
|
Passed down from your fathers |
|
The answer buried deep within you |
|
The hand that mixes blood and sand |
|
The sea of death will drown the land |
|
The ones that live hypocrisy |
|
Reflect the blackened hearts within |
|
Now they die again |
|
No end to this dark age |
|
History is pain |
|
The future is the same |
|
Hear the lies again |
|
Relive the suffering |
|
Through rimes the king remain |
|
Their power schemes wipe life away |
|
In little worlds, trade death each day |
|
Or breeding slaves for wars of hate |
|
Now we try again |
|
The outcome's just the same [Chorus] |
|
And the blood of man is shed |
|
For one's vision, of domination |
|
Greed gives birth |
|
To the ongoing destruction |
|
But one cannot stem the rides |
|
Discontented are the hordes |
|
Empires perched on the fall |
|
Granted vision, |
|
Babylon Lessons coming from the dust |
|
Empires perched on the fall |
|
So we gathered to hear this tale |
|
Passed down through generations |
|
Of atrocities that have and will take place |
|
Still unexplained |
|
Pawns for bureaucracy |
|
Repetition, failures, battles lost |
|
Centuries remain the same |
|
Tyrants reign in cycles |
|
Pain and tears return |
|
Society commits suicide [Leads: Perry, Dan] [Chorus] |
