Red Star, Pt. 1 & 2

Waking up in crimson glow
 Vultures gathering on the ridge
 Wondering what's this place become
 Shadows swallowing the sky
 ♪
 Arid dunes give way to jagged stone
 Embers quivering in the mist
 Burning flames dance across the sand
 Blood and ashes on your lips
 ♪
 Sitting on an ivory throne
 A vicious eye glares down with lust
 Fettered masses cry for gentle hands
 Silence echoes from the sky
 ♪
 Built on the backs of the destitute
 The monolith stands wicked and red
 Its cold black eyes gaze down shrouded in obsidian
 Reaping the blood of the innocent
 The obelisk demands a sacrifice
 The time's come for the shackled ones
 To bring the tower down down down
 ♪
 It's getting late for the demagogues
 Dispensing misery to the populous
 Bellowing screams shout enough is enough
 No more blood for the opulent
 Damnation to the citadel
 Nothing to lose but the weight of the chains
 Burn the castle down down down
