Empire of Fire - Imperial State Electric

I’ve seen the wall of reason

Torn down slowly brick by brick

Decaying into decadence

A dissident gone sick

Endless consultation

Of the godless and the saints

From the once so wise and knowing

No clamors or complaints

Crusades and campaigns that never will be mine

Lay down your innocent head and resign

When time and space collide

The void is closing in from every side

Bow down a reign supreme

His empire of fire

Like migrants in a fever land

A tide that never ends

The taste of greater darkness

In their mouths as he descends

Too late for education

Only warnings laid to rest

Whispers rise like hornets

Swarming from its shadow nest

Crusades and campaigns that never will be mine

Lay down your innocent head and resign

When time and space collide

The void is closing in from every side

Bow down a reign supreme

His empire of fire
