Sleeper
Epic Tale of Kingdoms Crumbling
Lyrics
Leave them nothing
Expressing a desire to deprive others of everything.
And lead the front of the cavalcade
Taking a leading position in a procession or parade.
How is it?
Possibly questioning the experience of a situation.
To love the complete crushing of us
Reflecting on the emotional impact of intense love and its potential for destruction.
Still reeling
Still recovering or affected by a previous experience.
Hungry for your failure to me
Desiring the failure of someone important to the speaker.
It's coming
Anticipating a forthcoming event or consequence.
What we can see from our great big towers
Observing things from a position of power or privilege.
So much grace in your vastitude
Admiring the beauty and dignity in something vast.
All let the fallen kingdom lay
Suggesting the abandonment or collapse of a once-mighty kingdom.
Lay face down in what we've done
Reflecting on the consequences of collective actions, possibly with a sense of remorse.
Come on
Encouraging action or progression.
Fall and start anew
Advocating for a fresh start after a downfall.
Raise a glass
Celebrating with a symbolic gesture, possibly to mark a significant event.
As we gut the pig
Metaphorically extracting something valuable from a situation or individual.
Watching it spill out in remembrance
Observing the consequences of an action and remembering it vividly.
And mix it's reds tonight with what once stood in the way
Mixing the consequences with past obstacles or resistance.
What we can see from our great big towers
Reiteration of observing from a position of power or privilege.
So much grace in your vastitude
Reappreciating the beauty and dignity in something vast.
All let the fallen kingdom lay
Reiteration of the fallen kingdom, emphasizing the aftermath.
Lay face down in what we've done
Reiterating the fallen kingdom and its consequences.
All let the fallen kingdom lay
Further emphasis on the fallen kingdom and its aftermath.
Lay face down in what we've done
Reiteration of the fallen kingdom and its consequences.
All watch the falling kingdom writhe
Observing the downfall of a kingdom and finding satisfaction in it.
Smiling at what we've done
Finding joy or satisfaction in the consequences of collective actions.
A sound I know too well
Recognizing a familiar and possibly unpleasant sound.
Here it comes
Anticipating or announcing the arrival of something significant.
Like a dark horse in the night
Comparing an impending event to an unexpected dark force in the night.
As it falls into us
Describing the impact of an event as it unfolds.
