Empire Songtext
von Catharsis

As we march
One by one
To the bottom line

Blinded by illusion
Of what they call
Yours and mine

Give everything you have
And they will take
What they need

Warm bodies to feed
The machine
Sacrifice all
We′re meant to be

Just a number on a page
With too little time and too much rage
Shackled to your weight in gold
It's not the price on your head
It′s your soul that is sold

It makes me sick


The poor and the broken
The lost and the hopeless
Society's rejects
The names left unspoken

We'll keep the wheels turning
Gears grinding and churning
Wasting our last breath
To keep the coals burning

Breathe in deep

Stoke the flames of
Liberty
Pay the price to be free
Let go of all
You′ll ever be

Warm bodies to feed
The machine
Sacrifice all
For nothing

The puppet masters
Sit upon their golden throne
As we build their empire
On ash, sweat
Blood, and bone
