Dead Empire Songtext
von nolongerhuman

We don′t know who we are
We don't know where we are
Each of us woke up one moment
Here we were in the darkness

We don′t know who we are
We don't know where we are
Each of us woke up one moment
Here we were in the darkness
Nameless things with no memory

We are products of obsolescence
Left behind in the name of constant progress
Children of a dead hollow empire
Promised life of pointless surplus

Factories churning out our intention
Poison measured by the cubic meter
Breathe deep, excess of our invention
Choking on the taste of our decision


We don't know who we are
We don′t know where we are
Each of us woke up one moment
Here we were in the darkness

Dead empire, one nation under fear
Freedom was just another word for obedience
Dead empire, one nation under madness
We burned the world to nothing but ashes

Dead empire, one nation under hate
Armed with only lies, everyone is your adversary
Dead empire, one nation under force
Slavery is the only thing that′s still free

That's the question we asked ourselves
Question with no answer

Leading you single file to the gallows
Bred a legion to serve the corporation
Born to be nothing but product placement
Clamoring like infants for the decadence

Skeletons bleached out in the sunlight
When the graves have become one too many
Showing us our proud legacy
We have chosen to call a democracy


That′s the question we asked ourselves
Question with no answer
Nameless things with no memory
No knowledge of what went before
No knowledge of what will be
No understanding of what is now

Dead empire, one nation under fear
Freedom was just another word for obedience
Dead empire, one nation under madness
We burned the world to nothing but ashes

Dead empire, one nation under hate
Armed with only lies, everyone is your adversary
Dead empire, one nation under force
Slavery is the only thing that's still free
