Tanagra - Bitter Earth lyrics

Toppling the pillars of the kingdoms of old Every man demands his side of the story be told Lines in the sand, crossed by swords The vicious cycle is doomed to begin once more Watch your kingdom rise Slaves will build your empire Oh, how pride goeth before the mighty fall Ascent to power, a jagged cliff to climb Every man reaps what he sows in time Living in paranoia, fearing the attack Until the day he dies, his brother's dagger in his back Watch your kingdom rise (Tear it down) Slaves will build your empire (Burn it to the ground) Oh, how pride goeth before the mighty fall Visions of madmen, the doomsday flood The earth below is stained bitter with blood Though I tread upon this land where wicked kings thrive I'll stay one step ahead, I swear they'll never take me alive Tear the veil, open your eyes We all know that justice was never blind One man's champion, another man's bane Fearless and noble, or hopelessly insane The vigilante has broken through the chains I see the horizon, the torrential reign Rise into the fray- in the blaze all wings must burn The lesson of Icarus must be fatal to be learned But all the world can see The only answer must surely be mine With fists of steel, I'll take the throne by storm No looking back- I won't be afraid this time And from the ruin, a new rule is born Strength and unity in a land once torn But this too will pa** in time Beware the a**a**ins waiting close behind Visions of madmen, the doomsday flood The earth below is stained bitter with blood
