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)
