Artifex Pereo – Enterprise Of Empire lyrics

They came to the west and inscribed their words
To be passed down
Eyes were blindly turned to shake the hurt
Pouring from the endemic souls
Resistance was met with blows to the heads
And hearts that could share our blood
You say you're the best but define the worst
To be passed down

We're all born with a light
Waiting to cut through enveloping shadow
Imposing our sight
When a man decides to build his own throne

Ground was laid to conserve mind-sets drowned in bias gold
With land to claim followed a violence quenching longing kings
Drafting plans of humans bought and sold
They claimed the saving of the, "half-devils."

They filled their young with malice that permeates
Danger is a country founded on a staircase of necks that provided its steps to the top
Looking down your nose you'll find that
You created a monster that's growing the darkest of hearts

At times we're lost in what surrounds, it's all common ground
Escape the vile, swelling clouds bestowed with your crown
(Ride the hate and extirpate the world.)

Ground was laid to conserve mind-sets drowned in bias gold
With land to claim followed a violence quenching longing kings
Drafting plans of humans bought and sold
They claimed the saving of the, "half-devils."

They came to the west and inscribed their words to be passed
Down with eyes blindly turned to shake the pain forced
They came to the west and inscribed their words to be passed
Down with eyes blindly turned to shake the pain pouring
