Eternal Empire

A seed is planted of a greater place

Where no wrongs shall ever be done

Where all dreams and wishes be granted

And our fears forever overcome

What can you say of limited life

Are you never satisfied?

With no uncertainty to tread

But me, I’d rather be dead

At the end they promise one more chance at life

With a word, with a book, with their selfish rites

On and on await the ever burning light

Never take, never break, never leave the line

Keeping all of worth no matter what remains

When it’s time nothing more enough my eyes explain

Ever we endure the wisdom of mistakes

Never right, never wrong but always ours to make

If I met this maker

I’d beg they listen well

To many histories gathered from this hell

Nothing could give purpose

To that I’ve no desire

A prison of the soul

Eternal empire

Time irresolute will ever take its toll

Many ways, many words, each of us our own

Seeing past the veil with nothing more to learn

Given voice, given vote, I wish to not return

Service for reward the next life it can be

For this tide be here now a selfish act it seems

Rapture for oneself a greed to yet reject

Further on in my sight the universe connect

If I met this maker

I’d beg they listen well

To many histories gathered from this hell

Nothing could give purpose

To that I’ve no desire

A prison of the soul

Eternal empire

Pacified by a life restrained

Gone are shades that defined

Complacent the wicked friend

If this is life

I want no...

Empire, eternal empire,

I need no kingdom

Empire, eternal empire

I take the poison for the cure.

Past heavens gate, there is no escape

For the ages I’ll have laid my head down

Feed me no concern, for this I have learned

Seeing forever all is mine to burn

All is mine to burn

Empire, eternal empire, I need no kingdom

Empire, eternal empire, I take the poison

If I met this maker

I’d beg they listen well

To many histories gathered from this hell

Nothing could give purpose

To that I’ve no desire

A prison of the soul

Eternal empire
