Arena - Empire Of A Thousand Days lyrics

Traitors - Heathens....don't thank me! Empires - Princes....don't thank me! The fellowship started here With bleeding hearts and fine cause The brotherhood started here With fevered brows - malevolence Beaten - Howling....I'll drag you down! Kneeling - Cowering....I'll drag you right down! Soldiers - Victims....don't thank me! Warriors - Pilgrims....don't thank me! The fellowship started here With righteousness and lunacy The covenant started here With screaming souls and vitriol Can there be comfort left For one who lies bleeding in the fields Remorse and second thoughts are not enough To shield me from the consequence Horses - Warcries....Don't thank me! Forces - Armies....Don't thank me! Dedicate your life to this With blood vows and loyalty Dedicate your life to me With suicide - atrocity Onward - Fervent....I'll drag you down! Torture - Torment....I'll drag you right down! Can there be a heaven still For one who lies bleeding in the fields A pardon for these actions and passions Committed in the name of our salvation Innocence of acquaintance or liaison The darker side of hunger and need We reach a path - the way beyond reason Now we have sown that nemicidal seed And I can count on you to let me bleed An act of trust is as fragile as a child And we have led as far as we can lead We'll make a pact from threats and insecurities Things will arise from lies and disagreements And I can count on you to let me bleed Let the meek lie down! For they shall not inherit the earth from me Let the meek lie down! I will never set your people free Take no prisoners! For they shall not receive any hope from me Take no prisoners! I will never set your people free Death is the enemy! For he waits in the field of blood for me Death is the enemy! I will never set your people free Let the meek lie down! Let the meek lie down! Let the meek lie down! Down! Let the meek, let the meek lie down!
