Empire by Eye of The Enemy Lyrics

I can bargain with your karma
Loan you zen, sell testimony
And you’ll buy it with a smile
Because you’re numb and fucking lonely

I won’t stand to be kept waiting long
While the sirens sing their song
And the hull of the good ship Circumspect
Is dashed upon my wrongs

Don’t pester me
Let the hole infested fester
Don’t hector me
Your lecherous didactic lectures
Are not surrogacy
For the thoughts you think you’re thinking

Little one, plague has come
Yet you tear me down

And though the rain comes pouring over
And though the rats come pouring in
And though the curtains dropped, it’s over
You tear me down
And though the rain comes pouring over
And though the rats come pouring in
And though the curtains dropped, it’s over
You tear me down

You tear me down

Why am I the fucking worm
In your terminal sojourn?
Your face a buffet
In its resting place
Little one, plague has done
What I was scared to do
I tried to help you through
Yet you tear me down

And though the rain comes pouring over
And though the rats come pouring in
And though the curtains dropped, it’s over
You tear me down

And though the rain comes pouring over
And though the rats come pouring in
And though the curtains dropped, it’s over
You tear me
Down
Nonsense
Nonsense where your head should be

I stand on giants shoulders
Isolated by a guillotine
No one remembers
The man of integrity

I stand on giants shoulders
Isolated by a guillotine
No one remembers
The man of integrity

Look out below
For the footprints left in snow
Alone when things are slow

But a pair
Part when things are going right
Redundant fight or flight
I don’t need a guiding light
If we avoid the night

I can show you nothing if your mind has the means
To glean the empty space between a death and a dream
Again
What a wonderful form of dread
Unscalable
Your formidable wall of dead

You cast your lot
With the sinners of Babel and Sodom and rot
