Bitter Earth -

Toppling the pillars of the kingdoms of old

Every man demands his side of the story be told

Lines in the sand, crossed by swords

The vicious cycle is doomed to begin once more

Watch your kingdom rise

Slaves will build your empire

Oh, how pride goeth before the mighty fall

Ascent to power, a jagged cliff to climb

Every man reaps what he sows in time

Living in paranoia, fearing the attack

Until the day he dies, his brother’s dagger in his back

Watch your kingdom rise (Tear it down)

Slaves will build your empire (Burn it to the ground)

Oh, how pride goeth before the mighty fall

Visions of madmen, the doomsday flood

The earth below is stained bitter with blood

Though I tread upon this land where wicked kings thrive

I’ll stay one step ahead, I swear they’ll never take me alive

Tear the veil, open your eyes

We all know that justice was never blind

One man’s champion, another man’s bane

Fearless and noble, or hopelessly insane

The vigilante has broken through the chains

I see the horizon, the torrential reign

Rise into the fray- in the blaze all wings must burn

The lesson of Icarus must be fatal to be learned

But all the world can see

The only answer must surely be mine

With fists of steel, I’ll take the throne by storm

No looking back- I won’t be afraid this time

And from the ruin, a new rule is born

Strength and unity in a land once torn

But this too will pass in time

Beware the assassins waiting close behind

Visions of madmen, the doomsday flood

The earth below is stained bitter with blood
