Chemical Mayhem

(get up)

Chemical fumes in the desert air

We build an empire of dark despair

One wrong turn and the borders bleed

Sowing the poison,

feeding the greed

(under my skin)

Watch the glass begin to crack

No way out, no turning back (run)

This is the empire we made from the dust

Broken allegiance and shattered trust

Bow to the pressure or burn in the cold

Selling our souls for the weight of the gold (yeah)

Shadows stretch across the floor

Knocking loud on the final door

Blue-sky dreams turn to ash and stone

Sitting silent on a stolen throne

(who

is there)

Knock down the door (now)

This is the empire we made from the dust

Broken allegiance and shattered trust

Bow to the pressure or burn in the cold

Selling our souls for the weight of the gold (soaring)

It all fades away

(ash to

ash)
