(Intro:)
Testing the limits of the acceptance
Of those who decry a decadence
Try to win their confidence
While fighting the rage that you enhance.
(Strophe 1:)
Monarchs, your castle of sand
Is falling apart, your walls cannot stand
The wave of hatred that you have conjured
With ignorance that you keep endured.
(Pre-Chorus:)
Unearthing treasures // hidden beneath
A field of corpses // decay and grief
(Chorus:)
Relativising
The damage you take // from your own mistakes
Dark prophets are rising
The scorn they proclaim // will topple your reign
This way is the wrong one but chosen again.
(Strophe 2:)
Monarchs, your time’s running out
Restore confidence, stop causing more doubts.
The wave of hatred that you try to tame
Escapes your control like wildfire’s flames.
(Zw.part + Outro)
(Fainted) You choose it again, keep feeding the flame
You’re choosing the same way again
Require a change but you stay the same
Your temple’s ablazed, you still feed the flame
They break your statues and condemn your names
Your temple’s ablazed - and you feed the flame
