The Empire


[Music: Holm; Lyrics: Sjæholm]

a man in position
a man with massive power
I feel my hate grow
This feeling is due to you
The perverted, twisted and sick
You corrupt...
You deceitful...
In front of the evil at stake
Every thought there is a plan behind
Guardians at every path

Secure, safe and locked up
Your days will be counted

The iron first that chokes us all
Telling which way to walk and to crawl
The empire is growing
Total war
The empire is showing
Mayhem, slaughter and gore
Mayhem, slaughter and gore

Your time will come
Evil with the puppets
Pulling the strings of your subjects
Ending in total winter
Blood on the hands of many innocent
You don`t care if they die
People have to pay the price

Total hatred aimed
Maximum security
Don`t work without control
Patterns of arrangements

Won`t bend one inch
Sick of it all
Classified
Information
Only need to know basis
Forwards and forwards
You tell them to move
An empire in the shadows,
too big for me and you

[Lead: Holm]

A man in your postion
Greed overflowing
Can`t conquer the world
Even when the empire is growing
Controller...
Inspires anger to flow
The illusions will turn to storm
Evil...
Believer...

I know how it will end
Exploit your power
See the rise and fall

Secure, safe locked up
Your days wil lbe counted

The iron fist chokes us all
Telling which way to walk and to crawl
The empier is growing
Total war
The empire is showing
Mayhem, slaughter and gore
Mayhem, slaughter and gore
