[Theme Lead: Perry]



You will gather all around me

Listen to a tale that lives on

Passed down from your fathers

The answer buried deep within you



The hand that mixes blood and sand

The sea of death will drown the land

The ones that live hypocrisy

Reflect the blackened hearts within



Now they die again

No end to this dark age



History is pain

The future is the same

Hear the lies again

Relive the suffering



Through rimes the king remain

Their power schemes wipe life away

In little worlds, trade death each day

Or breeding slaves for wars of hate



Now we try again

The outcome's just the same



[Chorus]



And the blood of man is shed

For one's vision, of domination

Greed gives birth

To the ongoing destruction



But one cannot stem the rides

Discontented are the hordes

Empires perched on the fall

Granted vision, Babylon

Lessons coming from the dust

Empires perched on the fall



So we gathered to hear this tale

Passed down through generations

Of atrocities that have and will take place

Still unexplained



Pawns for bureaucracy

Repetition, failures, battles lost

Centuries remain the same

Tyrants reign in cycles

Pain and tears return

Society commits suicide



[Leads: Perry, Dan]



[Chorus]
