BOY SETS FIRE LYRICS

"Empire"

Here I am with my empire, I’ll bring you to your knees

ebb and flow with my desire, cause its all that you’ve been taught to be



yeah I’m the bastard son of what’s been overcome, and again we plant the seed

so place your fork to mouth, eat, consume, be proud of what I let you see

cause we’ve made quite sure you can never leave



I speak you throw parades ignore the sense of rage welling up inside

Pay no mind to what we do cause we’ll sell it all to you in modern luxuries

And we’ve made quite sure you believe you’re free



From the cradle to the grave we try not to be saved from what we own

For next to nothing spent turn your dollars into cents

Fighting for the right to die alone

(just believe… believe you’re free) – cause you’re on your own

it doesn’t matter just be sure that this is our empire this is war

forgotten heroes chessboard roles to make you think you’re something more

but you’re on your own…
