Empire of the Blind Songtext
von Heathen

Dead souls dressed in black
A wake to mourn a nation
Social heart attack
The cause of death, temptation

Blood lust, consuming power
Brings us to our knees

Great tolls paid in filth
Metastasize infection
Sick flood, washing over
Pulls us under and drowns us in disease

This shroud of shame restricting sight
The past, a corpse we carry
Dark clouds of fear obscuring light
The future long since buried

Behold the rising empire
Behold the empire of the blind


Deep hole, full of spite
A hateful seed for sowing
Roots rot, systemic plight
The poison fruit still growing

Pale flesh, tasting sour
Fills us quickly and kills us with such ease

This shroud of shame restricting sight
The past, a corpse we carry
Dark clouds of fear obscuring light
The future long since buried

Behold the rising empire
Behold the empire of the blind

Dead souls dressed in black
A wake to mourn a nation
Social heart attack
The cause of death, temptation

Blood lust, consuming power
Drains us slowly and brings us to our knees

This shroud of shame restricting sight
The past, a corpse we carry
Dark clouds of fear obscuring light
The future long since buried


Behold the rising empire
Built on a mountain of shame
Bathe in the rising hellfire
Behold the empire of the blind

The empire of the blind
