It all started with a bad seed cast aside, thrown to the dirt and left to die
But to all's surprise somewhere in the filth there showed signs of life
Now the roots have taken a hold, and dug into foundations of all we know
I've risen up, I've grown
Eclipsing the sun with a new found halo
With no perception of prospect, remain stale in the now
With every crest that's conquered, reveals one twice as long
Empire of obedience, uphill struggle on
Kings will crawl with pawns, the higher slither with us all
Empire of obedience, uphill struggle on
Kings will crawl with pawns, the higher slither with us all
Kings will crawl with pawns, the higher slither with us all
With every crest that's conquered, reveals one twice as long
Empire of obedience, uphill struggle on and on and on
Be it power be it wealth you hoard
Shows little prominence when stripped to the bone
Now choose to be part of the progress or fall into the motion
Rotten minds are left behind as guts in the wreckage of growth
Now you choose to be part of the progress or fall into the motion
Rotten minds are left behind as guts, as guts in the wreckage of growth
Such value held in a glimpse of gold only to create the dust and the rust and the mold
Treasures will erode with superficial thrones
Castles will crumble and deliver you bare to the feet of us all
The higher the walls, the more there is to fall
With no perception of prospect, remain stale in the now
With every crest that's conquered, reveals one twice as long
Be it power be it wealth you hoard
Shows little prominence when stripped to the bone
Now choose to be part of the progress or fall into the motion
Rotten minds are left behind as guts in the wreckage of growth
Now you choose to be part of the progress, or fall into the motion
Rotten minds are left behind as guts in the wreckage, in the wreckage
Now choose to be part of the progress, or fall into the motion
Rotten minds are left behind as guts, as guts in the wreckage
Rotten minds are left behind as guts, as guts in in the wreckage
Rotten minds are left behind as guts, as guts in the wreckage of growth
