Bricks of the Empire Lyrics by Swift (Band)

The Worst of All Things Possible

2017

We'll tame the masses, we'll draw them in
This hidden infection, they cannot win
Brainwashed and hopeless, we'll keep them fed
With silk and poison, hard times ahead
Hard times ahead
We'll bury everything they have
And make them dig it out by hand
We'll burn everything they built
Rewrite the books to break their wills
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 tow 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
They're all drunk with envy
Envy our wealth, envy our
We'll bury everything they have
And make them dig it out by hand
We'll burn everything they built
Rewrite the books to break their wills
And this is a modern version of an age-old story
The story of "haves" and "have-nots"
The "haves" doing what they can to simply maintain a 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 tow this line
We'll bury everything they have
And make them dig it out by hand
We'll burn everything they built
Rewrite the books to break their wills
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
