Suffer

Omnipotent with this noose around my neck
Awaiting the executioner drops the blade
The greater good, a glorified hypocrisy
Without me only anarchy

I don't drive the tanks
Not in the boots of my mates
While the gods reign supreme
That's my simplest dream
Instead I'm strung to my throne
In this fortress of bones
An empire that's built
By blood from broken men

Cruelty begot efficiency
This world belongs to me

Suffer
Suffer
Suffer
Suffer

The epitome of glory
Preserving what is dear to me
I'll raze uncontrollably
And strike fear into my enemies

Any dog can bite its master
Any slave can kill his handler
Any prince, abandon honor
Any wife can poison water
Every friend can implant doubt
Every spy could sell you out
Every song could turn to a shout
Every second of your life must count

Cruelty begot efficiency
This world belongs to me
When I die noone cries for I am
I am despised

I'll stoke the flames that roar
To save my own life
I'll burn it down, I'll kill you all
To save my own life

My power paid in bloody tax
My fear no different from the common man

I will kill to save my own life

By a thread the sword hangs
Just one thread from my demise
I will kill to save my own life
Just one cut, the sword drops
And so I'll kill to save my own life
I will kill to save myself
