Lyrics
You cannot change the life you were born to live
You cannot alter the destiny predetermined for your life.
As you play your part the world will take and give
As you fulfill your role, life will present both challenges and rewards.
And magnesite may not be guaranteed
Magnesite (a mineral) may not ensure certainty or stability.
This empires a burden you'll see
This empire (possibly referring to one's life) carries a burdensome weight.
The hand cannot owe
The hand (physical actions) cannot repay what the mind cannot comprehend.
What the mind cannot read
Actions are limited by understanding; ignorance prevents repayment.
The war is just an inch under your skin
Conflict is deeply rooted beneath the surface of your existence.
And your palace, just a trophies of your sin
Your achievements may be mere symbols of your wrongdoing.
Your body just important as your soul
Your physical self is as significant as your spiritual essence.
Your powers not complete without control
Your power lacks fulfillment without proper restraint.
This empires a burden you’ll see
The weight of life's challenges becomes evident over time.
There no polishing this poverty
No amount of improvement can erase the harsh realities of poverty.
I’m passing my touch to the blind
The speaker is passing on their experiences to those unaware or ignorant.
I hope your lucks better than mine
Wishing better fortune for the recipient of the speaker's wisdom.
Won't you circle the sky waiting for something to die?
A plea or observation about waiting for inevitable, destructive events.
Children stare at the sun waiting to bathe in its blood
Children eagerly anticipate a violent spectacle, a metaphorical transformation.
I won’t dull sense of time
Refusal to lose awareness of the passage of time and its significance.
I'm passing my touch to the blind
Reiteration of passing wisdom to those lacking insight.
I hope your lucks better than mine
Expressing hope for better fortune for the next recipient.
This empires a burden to me
The challenges of life weigh heavily on the speaker.
My hands cannot owe
The speaker's actions cannot fulfill what their vision cannot perceive.
What my eyes cannot see
Highlighting the limitation when actions are not guided by understanding.
Vultures circle the sky waiting for something to die
Vultures symbolize waiting for demise or decay, possibly a metaphor for negativity.
Children stare at the sun waiting to bathe in its blood
Children await a dark event, potentially signifying a fascination with destruction.
Vultures circle the sky waiting for something to die
Repetition of the image of vultures waiting for something negative to happen.
Children stare at the sun waiting to bathe in its blood
Reiteration of children anticipating a transformative or destructive event.
You cannot change the life you were born to live
Restatement of the initial idea that one cannot change their predetermined life.
