lyrics

The age of kings is over.
The age of gods is now.
All hail our opulent saviors, who provide such endless bounties.

But when so few hoard mountains of gold,
When so many have nothing but their skin,
Do you ever stop to think, which side of the battle line are you on?

Starving at the heart of the empire... is this the best we can do?

A communion in reverse: a cup emptied for the promise of wealth
But the promises of gods are never fulfilled.
And if you fail, you're the one to blame.
There's no excuse but moral impurity.

Burn it all down! burn it all down!
The only way forward is to burn it all down!
The blood of gods must be spilled!
Burn it all down! Burn it all down!
Stoke the flames and melt the crown,
You'll see they bleed just like you!

Our messiahs have always been dragons.
How their gilded lies glitter in the dark.
The lowest caste is bled dry so you don't complain when they bleed you too.

A church is a church, whatever's being sacrificed on the altar.
A scam is a scam, no matter what colors or symbols it's draped in.
