Empire to ashes lyrics

The lion and the wolf,

Old gods and the new,

Battle of the bastards

trying to break through.

A back and forth pendulum

We can't seem to stop,

Ticking like a metronome,

Can't kill the clock.

Somedays I feel like we're just symptoms of our system.

Black hole, no hope,

Psycho syndrome.

[Chorus]

Hey!

Feels like we're caged animals

Looking for the antidote

To break the chains they put us in.

Yeah, you can call it cynical,

Maybe I'm just miserable

But there's no way I'm giving in to their lies

I'm gonna fight

And put it all on the line tonight

So light the gas with some matches,

Let's burn the old empire into ashes.

Woah, woah

Let's burn it all into ashes!

The young man dreams

While he sleeps in his bed

Death keeps an eye

While he's waiting for the dead.

If life is a needle,

Then my soul is the thread.

My mouth is the poison,

My tongue is the lead.

Somedays I feel like I'm just stuck in my own skin,

Try to break free but I can't escape me.

[Chorus]

Hey!

Feels like we're caged animals

Looking for the antidote

To break the chains they put us in.

Yeah, you can call it cynical,

Maybe I'm just miserable

But there's no way i'm giving in to their lies,

I'm gonna fight

And put it all on the line tonight,

So light the gas with some matches,

Let's burn the old empire into ashes.

Woah, woah

Let's burn it all into ashes!

Let's turn it all into ashes!

Sometimes I feel like we're just symptoms of our system,

Black hole, no hope,

Psycho syndrome,

Psycho syndrome.

[Chorus]

Hey!

Feels like we're caged animals

Looking for the antidote

To break the chains they put us in.

Yeah, you can call it cynical,

Maybe I'm just miserable

But there's no way I'm giving in.

[Chorus]

Hey!

Feels like we're caged animals

Looking for the antidote

To break the chains they put us in.

Yeah, you can call it cynical,

Maybe I'm just miserable

But there's no way i'm giving in.

Woah, woah,

There's no way I'm giving in.

Woah, woah,

Let's burn it all into ashes!
