Empire - Eye of the Enemy

I can bargain with your karma

Loan you zen, sell testimony

And you’ll buy it with a smile

Because you’re numb and fucking lonely

I won’t stand to be kept waiting long

While the sirens sing their song

And the hull of the good ship Circumspect

Is dashed upon my wrongs

Don’t pester me

Let the hole infested fester

Don’t hector me

Your lecherous didactic lectures

Are not surrogacy

For the thoughts you think you’re thinking

Little one, plague has come

Yet you tear me down

And though the rain comes pouring over

And though the rats come pouring in

And though the curtains dropped, it’s over

You tear me down

And though the rain comes pouring over

And though the rats come pouring in

And though the curtains dropped, it’s over

You tear me down

You tear me down

Why am I the fucking worm

In your terminal sojourn?

Your face a buffet

In its resting place

Little one, plague has done

What I was scared to do

I tried to help you through

Yet you tear me down

And though the rain comes pouring over

And though the rats come pouring in

And though the curtains dropped, it’s over

You tear me down

And though the rain comes pouring over

And though the rats come pouring in

And though the curtains dropped, it’s over

You tear me

Down

Nonsense

Nonsense where your head should be

I stand on giants shoulders

Isolated by a guillotine

No one remembers

The man of integrity

I stand on giants shoulders

Isolated by a guillotine

No one remembers

The man of integrity

Look out below

For the footprints left in snow

Alone when things are slow

But a pair

Part when things are going right

Redundant fight or flight

I don’t need a guiding light

If we avoid the night

I can show you nothing if your mind has the means

To glean the empty space between a death and a dream

Again

What a wonderful form of dread

Unscalable

Your formidable wall of dead

You cast your lot

With the sinners of Babel and Sodom and rot
