Behind the velvet ropes and gilded doors They sign our lives away
in silent wars
A theater of screens to blind our eyes While underneath the stage
the altar lies (deceivers) They wear the masks of statesmen in the
light
And feast upon the harvest of the night
Blood on the gold,
the hollow crown!
They smile as the hour count turns down
No shepherd leads, the wolves convene!
The end of days behind the screen!
Cast out the kings who feed upon the weak
The demons reign while we are forced to speak
Their empire of ash
is bound to fall
Before the final curtain takes us all (break the circle)
Secret cabals that hide in open day They burn the flesh and
throw the truth away
Distracting us with games and paper fears To hide the slaughter of
ten thousand years
(we know
the
names)
Tear it down!
From the high seat to the ground!
Break the chains and smash the throne!
Tear it down and claim our own!
(Tear it down!)
Cast out the kings who feed upon the
weak
The demons reign while we are forced to speak
Their empire of ash is bound to fall
Before the final curtain takes us all
(Tear it down, tear it down!) (The end is here!)
No more sacrifices. No more lies.
