lyrics

Dismantled reign, toppled by the slain.
Forever in pieces, the ruins of an empire.
The pestilence and disease, no one to light the pyre.
City of lights now a kingdom forgotten.

Lo' and behold! A society rotten.
Turned from stone to dust.

Fallen is the empire.

Remains of a once great nation.
Armageddon came as foretold.
The results of a thousand years of debauchery.
Now they are ended like sodom

Annihilated by God
Holy genocide
Destroying what they once knew.

Fallen is the empire.

Heretics of a modern age.
Pessimist's war, terrorism plagued.
A priceless whore, corporate enslaved.
America the great, now the ruins of an empire.

Fallen is the empire.
Ending is the dynasty.
