Stone by Stone

Lyrics

Self-flagellation Empty platitudes Death of a thousand cuts Hack their way through you Changing guard New division Empire rise On malediction A 1000 pious candles Born by barren wombs Coward Unter-ratten Consecrate their tombs Changing guard A new division – no submission Empire rise On malediction As dawn chases night Time rusts their throne Yet new kingdoms rise Stone by stone As night follows day All must lose their throne Yet new kingdoms rise Stone by stone Over time the veil it does burn If glorious death were my only concern Plague of fire is my morbid vision Stone by stone to extinction Profane is the crime Tragic is the loss Neurotic altruism I deny the new religion Over time the veil it does burn If only death were my only concern I see fires in my great vision Stone by stone to extinction New dark age or extinction So let's build a new world Upon the ashes of the old We will see our kingdom rise Stone by stone
