Empire

I stood alone and watched below As they burned their cities down The fire and the rage I see A prophet never found A thousand years, still nothing learned The prophets speak their words Now nothing left but ashes on the ground What will you rule in the end? A burning empire Do you believe when blood is lost That it justifies the means? A child only sees the gun As the trigger of disease A thousand years, still nothing learned The prophets speak their words Now nothing left but ashes on the ground What will you rule in the end? A burning empire A thousand years, still nothing learned The prophets speak their words Now nothing left but ashes on the ground What will you rule in the end? A thousand years, still nothing learned From your burning empire
