Egos and Empires Songtext
von Apparitions

A world of victors and victims
Building egos and empires
Awash in a sea of flames
You know nothing of your shame

With the face of a coward
You run
At the first sight of flames
At the first sight of flames

A world of victors and victims
Building egos and empires
A magnificent race
Of filthy beings

Awash in a sea of flames
Taking the innocent
To place the blame


This is the consequence
Of your poor judgment
I will let you know that we are
Here to say we are breaking the barriers
We are the breath of death
& When we′re through there'll be nothing left

A thousand years and counting
And man has yet to change
Will we ever see this change?

Crushed by your own personal demons
That have left you here
You stand abandoned
And with a loss of life

A world of victors & victims
Building egos & empires
A magnificent race
Of filthy beings

In an effort to fill the void
You find you′re still fucking nothing

The crushing weight has you held down
And bound by the chains of mortification
You can't stand the truth of knowing
That you're just a caitiff


Cursed by your own personal demons
That have left you here
You stand abandoned
And with a loss of life

A world of victors & victims
Building egos & empires
A magnificent race
Of filthy beings
