When the Bricks of the Empire Fall
Swift

We'll tame the masses
We'll draw them in
This is a hidden faction
They cannot win
Brainwashed and hopeless
We'll keep them fed
With silken poison
Hard times ahead, I can bury...

We'll bury everything they have
And make them dig it out by hand
We'll burn everything they built
And rewrite the books to break their will

These lies are hard to erase
And too tough to face at times
The bubble burst and forced us awake
So let's stand up and toe this line

They'll never suspect us
They'll fall in line
Sinking in the world we built
They'll fall behind
Debt the hidden captor
They'll fight themselves
We're all drunk with envy
Envy your wealth, envy your wealth

Well bury everything they have
And make them dig it out by hand
We'll burn everything they built
And rewrite the books to break their will

And this is a modern version of an age old story
The story of the haves and have-nots
The haves doing what they can to simply maintain the system that they built
But the bricks of the empire... they eventually fall

And the day the bricks fall
You'll know who pulled down the walls
And the day the bricks fall
You'll know who pulled down these walls

These lies are hard to erase
And too tough to face at times
The bubble burst and forced us awake
So let's stand up and toe this line

We'll bury everything they have
And make them dig it out by hand
We'll burn everything they built
And rewrite the books to break their will

The day the bricks fall
You'll know who pulled down the walls
And the day the bricks fall
You'll know we pulled down these walls
We pulled down these walls
These walls
Pulled down these walls
We pulled down these...
Walls
