Empire s Weight

Paper chains
Cross the ocean
Dollars fall like rain
On foreign soil
Empty hands
Reach for nothing
While the machine
Devours hope


Trembling voices
Lost in static
Currency of fear


Empire's weight
Crushing down
All the world
Beneath its crown
Empire's weight
Nothing left
Only echoes
Of what we kept


Markets crash
Children hungry
Distant towers
Shape our fate
Blood and oil
Mix together
While the powerful
Count their gold


Trembling voices
Lost in static
Currency of fear


Empire's weight
Crushing down
All the world
Beneath its crown
Empire's weight
Nothing left
Only echoes
Of what we kept


When will it end?
This endless fall?
When will it end?
This greed for all?


[Orchestral breakdown with electronic distortion]


Empire's weight
Crushing down
All the world
Beneath its crown
Empire's weight
We are lost
Paying still
The final cost


Paper chains
Cross the ocean
We remain
Broken
