Lyrics
I've paid my dues
I've fulfilled my obligations
And this is what I have
This is the result of my efforts
to show for it
This is what I have achieved
My empire
My realm or domain
of rot and decay
A state of decay and decline
Is all that's left for me
All I have now is deterioration
Let it burn and fade away
Let it be consumed and disappear
Let it burn and fade away
Expressed desire for the demise to occur
Barren
Desolate
Lifeless
Without vitality
The end of days
The apocalypse or end times
Has arrived
It has come to pass
Choking
Suffocating or feeling choked
Suffocate
To be deprived of air
Beneath a dying sun
Under a sun that is dying
We will all die alone
We will all face death in isolation
We will die alone
Emphasis on the inevitability of solitary death
I worked my fingers to the bone
I toiled intensely
All I wanted
All I desired
Was a place to call my own
Was a place I could call my own
I worked my fingers to the bone
I worked tirelessly
All I wanted
All I desired
Was a place to call my own
Was a place I could call my own
Was it all for nothing?
Questioning the value of the efforts
Climbed the ranks
Rose through the hierarchy
For the tower to crumble
Only for everything to collapse
Decomposing before my eyes
Deteriorating right before my sight
Let it burn and fade X3
Repetition of the desire for destruction
Let it fade away
Expressing the wish for fading away
I've paid my dues
I've fulfilled my obligations (repeated)
And this is what I have
This is the result of my efforts (repeated)
to show for it
This is what I have achieved (repeated)
My empire
My realm or domain (repeated)
of rot and decay
A state of decay and decline (repeated)
Is all that's left for me
All I have now is deterioration (repeated)
Let it burn and fade away
Let it be consumed and disappear (repeated)
Let it burn and fade away
Expressed desire for the demise to occur (repeated)
