Empire Lyrics - The Misery Index: Notes From The Plague Years - Boy Sets Fire

Here I am with my empire 

I'll bring you to your knees 

Ebb and flow with my desire 

Cause it's all that you've been taught to be 

Yeah, I'm the bastard son 

Of what's been overcome 

And again we plant the seed 

So place your fork to mouth 

Eat, consume, be proud 

Of what I let you see 

Cause we've made quite sure you can never leave 

Here I am with my empire 

I'll bring you to your knees 

Ebb and flow with my desire 

Cause it's all that you've been taught to be

I speak, you throw parades 

Ignore the sense of rage 

Welling up inside 

Pay no mind to what we do 

Cause we'll sell it all to you 

In modern luxuries 

And we've made quite sure you believe you're free 

Here I am with my empire 

I'll bring you to your knees 

Ebb and flow with my desire 

Cause it's all that you've been taught to be 

From the cradle to the grave 

We try not to be saved 

From what we own 

For next to nothing spent 

Turn your dollars into cents 

Fighting for the right to die alone 

Photos 

(Just believe, believe you're free) 

Cause you're on your own 

It doesn't matter just be sure 

That this is our empire, this is war 

Forgotten heroes 

Chessboard roles 

To make you think you're something more 

But you're on your own 

Here I am with my empire 

I'll bring you to your knees 

Ebb and flow with my desire 

Cause it's all that you've been taught to be
