You keep flogging a dead horse Expecting blood from stone Those weathered hands must eventually break Your mouth so full of rust I'll take an axe to its throat To ensure that you Taste the blood As it seeps from formaldehyde inflicted wounds Wear your fingers To the bone Upon a broken back it'll carry the weight of this world For all of this to become my empire A parting gift of a false king Distance has made you all so jaded Everything without a number is beginning to fade We came for the taking of the kingdoms built into the sky Constructed upon fractured bones Tear The flesh from bone Open your eyes Strokes down an empty canvas Make way for a facade of hollow ideals Heave through punctured lungs As your empire burns to the hallowed ground Sifting through the smoke Buried within these ashes Is the keys to change Now wake up to the destruction that you have created Step back Stand back And bask in the amber glow Of a fallen sovereignty Wrongdoings and failed intent Brought forth an overdue demise Distance has made you all so jaded Everything without a number is beginning to fade We came for the taking of the kingdoms built into the sky Constructed upon fractured bones I'll find peace, I swear I'll find peace, oh I swear to you
