Thy Kingdom Fall
Reckoning of Power: Unraveling the Dark Tale in 'Thy Kingdom Fall'
Lyrics
The greed for power
The desire for power
To take the throne
To seize the throne
To hold him forever
Intending to maintain control indefinitely
Hold your kingdom
Securing and preserving your kingdom
Selfmade messiah
A self-proclaimed savior
Morbid monarch
A ruler with dark and death-related qualities
You great possession
You, the esteemed possession of the ruler
breeds tools of oppression
Generates instruments of suppression
Absurd thoughts
Illogical ideas
Perverse actions, sick ego
Twisted actions, a sick and self-centered ego
Lack of understanding
Absence of comprehension
Risen with violence
Emerging with brutality
The leader´s hands smeared with blood
The hands of the leader stained with the blood of others
Driven by madness
Acting under the influence of insanity
His will prevailed without regard
His desires dominating without consideration
The greed for power
The insatiable lust for power
To take the throne
To ascend the throne
To hold him forever
With the intention of eternal reign
Hold your kingdom
To maintain your dominion indefinitely
The people who trust you supressed
The people who believe in you suppressed and oppressed
But the chains will break
The chains that bind will eventually break
Bombs fall from the sky
Bombs descending from the sky
They fall like rain
Falling like rain
Your last act from despair
Your final desperate act
But not for my sake
Not for my benefit
Face it- thy kingdom fall
Confront it - the downfall of your kingdom
Absurd thoughts
Illogical ideas
Perverse actions, sick ego
Twisted actions, a sick and self-centered ego
Lack of understanding
Absence of comprehension
Risen with violence
Emerging with brutality
The leader´s hands smeared with blood
The hands of the leader stained with the blood of others
Driven by madness
Acting under the influence of insanity
His will prevailed without regard
His desires dominating without consideration
