Bitter Earth Lyrics by Tanagra

None of This is Real

2015

Toppling the pillars of the kingdoms of old
Every man demands his side of the story be told
Lines in the sand, crossed by swords
The vicious cycle is doomed to begin once more
Watch your kingdom rise
Slaves will build your empire
Oh, how pride goeth before the mighty fall
Ascent to power, a jagged cliff to climb
Every man reaps what he sows in time
Living in paranoia, fearing the attack
Until the day he dies, his brother's dagger in his back
Watch your kingdom rise (Tear it down)
Slaves will build your empire (Burn it to the ground)
Oh, how pride goeth before the mighty fall
Visions of madmen, the doomsday flood
The earth below is stained bitter with blood
Though I tread upon this land where wicked kings thrive
I'll stay one step ahead, I swear they'll never take me alive
Tear the veil, open your eyes
We all know that justice was never blind
One man's champion, another man's bane
Fearless and noble, or hopelessly insane
The vigilante has broken through the chains
I see the horizon, the torrential reign
Rise into the fray- in the blaze all wings must burn
The lesson of Icarus must be fatal to be learned
But all the world can see
The only answer must surely be mine
With fists of steel, I'll take the throne by storm
No looking back- I won't be afraid this time
And from the ruin, a new rule is born
Strength and unity in a land once torn
But this too will pass in time
Beware the assassins waiting close behind
Visions of madmen, the doomsday flood
The earth below is stained bitter with blood
