Empires, oh Empires everywhere All throughout the land rule the people don't despair Governments of all types manifest see The old way still a Monarchy Mon-Ar-Chy Monarchs in their blood make the rules Kings and Queens rise and fall Europe stable on the surface from afar Britain, France, Germany and Russia United States isolated overseas Are the main powers but the world is changing Unrest is on the air again Because deep within the cities some people are shun Germany a joint empire with Austria-Hungary And ethnic minorities remain unseen Ignored by the ruling class who remain supreme Pre pre pr pr preme Supreme Pre pre pr pr preme Supreme Pre pre pr pr preme Supreme Pre pre pr pr preme Austria-Hungary and Germany Had in place cold ideology That the ruling class were from a master race And all others were just peasants a disgrace And this thinking formed restrictive policy But not everyone inclined to agree Turmoil started as a slow simmer In kingdom that was vast and full of splendor But what's splendid for some, for others is a nightmare The slavs, the slavs in particular Were looked down upon if their not in Serbia Backed by Serbia they would spark something sinister Well not sinister in their eyes Just a way to fight back for justice yea that's right Austria-Hungary not pleased with all of this Find out Serbias involved now there's a rift Europe has enjoyed 100 years of peace And now its hanging by a thread so thin Like this Europe has enjoyed 100 years of peace And now its hanging by a thread so thin Like this It's the 20th century New intellect is forming New ways of not conforming Technology advances liberation is the yearning Society starts to change discontent The old ways we are learning Have no place it's concerning Only to the ruling class that's in charge Because the gears of war start turning Yes the gears of war are burning They don't believe equal is not a right They will soon see the people start to fight Alliances are made for when the peace falls And territory claimed is soon to be a cause The nature of warfare will change Ideologies make it personal to engage Treaties and conventions set about new laws On how a war must be waged It's the 20th century Cultural advancements Some countries get along Other countries make stances To further their reach Stabilizing empires Like access to sea And resources start fires But most get along And still there's some uncertainty A unified Germany the source of some unease With the other empires outliers Like the Ottomans Spain and Italy With all this going there's no way they could foresee A small group and uprising would spark destiny Austria-Hungary annexed Bosnia And Herzegovina Upsetting the power balance in the region And sparking rage in the slavic nationalist Who saw the annexation as a slight and a diss Against their national ambitions And they will not stand for this Europe has enjoyed 100 years of peace And now its hanging by a thread so thin Like this Europe has enjoyed 100 years of peace And now its hanging by a thread so thin Like this A Century of Peace If you could call it peace A Century of Peace If you could call it peace A Century of Peace If you could call it peace A Century of Peace If you could call it peace Peace Peace A Century of Peace If you could call it peace The Black Hand in secrecy there formation Members of the Serbian Army occupation And all they were seeking was there peoples unification Freedom from Austria Hungary Germany its suffocation Assassination was the vehicle the tool They sponsored others to make the same moves Young Bosnia they aided in a daring plot And the thread of peace in Europe would unravel in a shot Shot Shot And the thread of peace in Europe would unravel in a shot Shot Shot Shot And the thread of peace in Europe would unravel in a shot A Century of Peace If you could call it peace A Century of Peace If you could call it peace A Century of Peace If you could call it peace A Century
