Empire

Here I am with my empire
 I'll bring you to your knees
 Ebb and flow with my desire
 Cause it's all that you've been taught to be
 Yeah, I'm the bastard son
 Of what's been overcome
 And again we plant the seed
 So place your fork to mouth
 Eat, consume, be proud
 Of what I let you see
 Cause we've made quite sure you can never leave
 Here I am with my empire
 I'll bring you to your knees
 Ebb and flow with my desire
 Cause it's all that you've been taught to be
 I speak, you throw parades
 Ignore the sense of rage
 Welling up inside
 Pay no mind to what we do
 Cause we'll sell it all to you
 In modern luxuries
 And we've made quite sure you believe you're free
 Here I am with my empire
 I'll bring you to your knees
 Ebb and flow with my desire
 Cause it's all that you've been taught to be
 From the cradle to the grave
 We try not to be saved
 From what we own
 For next to nothing spent
 Turn your dollars into cents
 Fighting for the right to die alone
 (Just believe, believe you're free)
 Cause you're on your own
 It doesn't matter just be sure
 That this is our empire, this is war
 Forgotten heroes
 Chessboard roles
 To make you think you're something more
 But you're on your own
 Here I am with my empire
 I'll bring you to your knees
 Ebb and flow with my desire
 Cause it's all that you've been taught to be
