Gravedigger
Empire of Deceit: Architects' Gravedigger Unveils a World Betrayed
Lyrics
An iron fist in a velvet glove
An authoritative and forceful approach concealed by a gentle appearance
Another vulture posing as a dove
Someone pretending to be peaceful but acting like a predator
Do you have no shame? Look at what you've become
Expressing disapproval of the person's current state and actions
You are the reason we are bitter and then some
Attributing the source of bitterness and resentment to the person
Bitter and then some
Reinforcing the intensity of bitterness experienced
They sing of saviors, we sing of sorrow
Contrasting the positive narratives of others with a focus on suffering
But we're still holding on for dear life
Despite hardships, holding on tenaciously
You sold us all down the river
Accusing the person of betrayal and deception
I hope you choke on the vows that you failed to deliver
Expressing a desire for the person to suffer consequences for unfulfilled promises
You said you'd change the world, but death still flies east
Highlighting the failure to bring about positive change
The blind lead the blind, so we bomb for peace
Commenting on misguided leadership and the pursuit of peace through violent means
Gravedigger (gravedigger) there's blood on your hands
Labeling the person as a "gravedigger" with responsibility for bloodshed
You built this empire on salt and sand
Criticizing the foundation of the person's success as unstable and unreliable
Not all is fair in love and war
Rejecting the notion that everything is justified in love and war
History repeats, we've seen this all before
Noting the repetition of historical mistakes
We've given the vampires the keys to the blood bank
Metaphorically giving power to those who harm others
They say the more things change, the more they stay the same
Reflecting on the persistence of corruption despite supposed change
While the liars leech, the crooked preach
Describing deceitful individuals benefiting from dishonesty
So lie through your teeth, lie like you mean it
Encouraging insincere communication and dishonesty
It beggars belief, do you really think that we still fucking believe it?
Expressing disbelief in the sincerity of the person's words
You fucking parasite
Labeling the person as a destructive influence
There's no room in here for an honest man
Rejecting the presence of an honest individual
Only callous and cold hearts
Emphasizing a lack of empathy and compassion
Gravedigger (gravedigger), there's blood on your hands
Reiterating the accusation of blood on the person's hands
You built this empire on salt and sand
Reinforcing criticism of the unstable foundation of success
Not all is fair in love and war
Repeating the rejection of the idea that everything is justified in love and war
History repeats, we've seen it all before
Highlighting the cyclical nature of historical errors
Oppressor, you built this empire on salt and sand
Addressing the person as an oppressor with a shaky foundation
Oppressor, you built this empire on salt and sand
Reiterating the accusation against the oppressor
An iron fist in a velvet glove
Recalling the earlier description of a forceful individual disguised as gentle
Another vulture posing as a dove
Repeating the image of a deceptive individual posing as peaceful
Do you have no shame? Look at what you've become
Restating disapproval of the person's current state and actions
You are the reason we are bitter and then some
Reiterating that the person is the cause of bitterness
Bitter and then some
Emphasizing the enduring nature of bitterness
They sing of saviors, we sing of sorrow
Highlighting the contrast between positive narratives and sorrow
But we're still holding on for dear life
Despite suffering, holding on tenaciously
