"Empire Of The Blind" lyrics

Dead souls dressed in black
Awake to mourn a nation
Social heart attack
The cause of death, temptation

Blood lust, consuming power
Brings us to our knees
Great tolls paid in filth
Metastasize infection

Sick flood washing over
Pulls us under and drown us in disease
This shroud of shame restricting sight
The past, a corpse we carry

Dark clouds of fear obscuring light
The future long since buried
Behold the rising empire
Behold the empire of the blind

Deep hole full of spite
A hateful seed for sowing
Roots rot, systemic plight
The poison fruit still growing

Pale flesh, tasting sour
Fills us quickly and kills us with such ease
This shroud of shame restricting sight
The past, a corpse we carry

Dark clouds of fear obscuring light
The future long since buried
Behold the rising empire
Behold the empire of the blind

Dead souls dressed in black
Awake to mourn a nation
Social heart attack
The cause of death, temptation

Blood lust, consuming power
Drains us slowly and brings us to our knees
This shroud of shame restricting sight
The past, a corpse we carry

Dark clouds of fear obscuring light
The future long since buried
Behold the rising empire
Built on a mountain of shame
Bathe in the rising hellfire
Behold the empire of the blind
The empire of the blind
