Oh, the demise of the empire!
Receded and dark its walls began to fall The alliance, no one saw it die The scene of the crime was not checked for evidence Now it is all gone The theory seems all too easy You see, the thesis is said to be dead and so are you Name the contractor and the assassin Memorize the face and the plates and the prayer Throw your oars overboard |

You turned and smiled and said that nothing ever ends
Now only a colossal wreck remains You walked for months to find the other side awash The burning desert stretches out before your eyes Flood the lands and drown the world once and for all The sands go on and on until there is no end |

All this time awaiting night
At its end awaits a trial The reflections of a knife cut through the dark and an alliance of hearts With the setting sun The tides rise With the setting sun To end a life With the setting sun As the waves pull back the treasures are revealed I heard I would fear but I'm not scared of an inevitable end With the setting sun The tides rise With the setting sun The hearts divide As the waters rise You fight for life With the setting sun As the world dies |

These are hands made to dig holes
One for every waiting soul These are eyes made to deceive To serve the lie we're made to believe This is what I got for staring the sun In the eye I will surely be condemned For this sin I will go to hell For the warning that I never got For my dreams of a raging sun This is what I got for staring the sun In the eye Why is the sun so bright? Why is the sun so bright? Why is the sun so bright? Why is the sun so bright? Here it comes Full war A fucking chronic alarm I'd dig My own hole Repay the Devil with my soul To just For one day Be taken away from the flames Until It starts All Over Again |

You know love for love knew of the blood on your shoes
For sure is that blood is what love is The black dust kicked up by your black shoes in my black heart has choked up the thin lines that carry love Briefly the sky wears thin lines White trails like lifelines |

I got a suit
I got a black suit You got horns but I got a black suit I got a band I got a black band You got thorns and I got a black band You got a shield You got a black shield I got a point but you got a black shield I got a wish I got a death wish You got a badge but I got a death wish The truth I know can not be bent, oh no It has been raised as a monument to the dead The truth they say is stated in the Book of Revelations The truth I know is mounted on the bones of generations I got a mark I got a black mark You got a book At least you've got a book |

The fire is dying
The night will be cold Not a light in sight I've got to go Can you tell these eyes are awaiting the end? That nothing's waiting around the bend? While we stay here sitting still all the hypocrisy's leading us in Light rain upon the fire You've got a ride Free beer all night and I got to drive Beat and battered, gray and old The many years are taking their toll Vote for Democracy, yeah Vote for a word Vote for a word The girl you knew had her own car, her own scars, her own cross The farther out you reached into the night the less she remembered, the less you tried |

The winds are waiting quiet for the storm to make the call
While the collectors of skulls prepare for war And the lights from sovereign states flicker in the dark The darkness has erased the features of the lands The lights from sovereign states are all but dead For every emissary and the misery you breed |
