"This Empire Must Fall"
If history teaches anything at all
Inevitably our empires must fall

Corrupting absolutely those that rule
Trusting masses made the fool

Sell our souls for our way of life
For the world at large only mayhem and strife.

Resist and we'll make you pay.
Everything you have is ours to take away.

But the reckoning inevitably comes
For the nation that lives only by its swords and guns

The bully of the block is always put down
Proven to be the coward, the monster or the clown.

So such is our fate for lessons unlearned.
This Empire must fall and crumble and burn.

To end all the hopes and oaths that we've sworn
Or a cleansing fire in which we may be reborn.
