Built upon the sweetest lie
And mythic legends so absurd
You're haunted by your greatest fear
That you'll be taken at your word
Look how your marble is riddled with cracks
Soon the final tribunal will settle your fate
The jury's been waiting with knives in their backs
Like a legion of pawns closing in for checkmate
All your precious metals start to turn to stone.
What can you expect when your words ring hollow?
If you ride to greatness on a trail of human bones
Then you shouldn't be surprised when the reaper follows
Are you many, or are you one?
Can you live with what you've done?

Staring at the mountains
Across the desert sands
Waiting for a signal that
I can understand
Destiny is calling to me
Take me in your hand
And lay my heart
Upon your land

The victories you try to claim
Were won by those who you've despised.
Reaction's goals remain same
Just not quite as advertised
While the behemoth is licking its wounds
The faithful endure the Leviathan's violence
When their forgotten resistance resumes
Its flesh will be butchered to nourish the righteous
Though this land has never been a city on a hill
Vaunting its cathedral it can claim to be superior,
Held aloft by buttresses that strain against their will
Just to shift the burden from its vacuous interior.
For years you chased the setting sun
But now there's nowhere left to run

Staring at the mountains
Across the desert sands
Waiting for a signal that
I can understand
Destiny is calling to me
Take me in your hand
And lay my heart
Upon your land

Will I see
The end
Of this infernal legacy
An end to the original sin
That we've been living in
It binds us tight like resin
And coats us like a second skin
Deep within this world grown old
There's riches greater than gold
More power than your armies
Multiplied a thousand fold
On the day your empire falls
We shall be all
Though you claim you're pure of heart
You were wicked from the start

When your domination
Has perished from the Earth
We will tell the story
Of what you really were
With this song I'll eulogize you
Don't you understand?
You have no right
To rule this land
