As the Palaces Burn

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The fiends have gagged A generation of pacified fools Bound by our greed A nation enslaved as corporate tools Arise and raze the legacy of their lies To realize that this, in itself, is an ascension Towards the day we revolt [Chorus] As the seeds you've cast away take hold War will be born Rejoice, the age of the fall has begun We'll dance as the palaces burn [Guitar Solo] [Verse 2] A shotgun blast into the face of deceit You'll gain your just reward We'll not rest until the purge is complete You will reap what you've sown [Bridge] My redemption lies in your demise [Verse 3] In such a world as this Does one dare to think for himself? The paradox of power and peace Will destroy itself To know the truth and live in fear of no man To realize that this, in itself, is an ascension Towards the day we revolt [Chorus] As the seeds you've cast away take hold War will be born Rejoice, the age of the fall has begun We'll dance as the palaces burn My redemption Redemption lies in your demise Rejoice, the age of the fall has begun We'll dance as the palaces burn
