I see your need, your greed, your disease
You'd crush the world just to hold it in your hand
So take your place in the kingdom you crave
You'll destroy it all till there's nothing left to save

I see the world burn in your eyes
I see the world burn in your eyes

Scorch the earth tonight
Bring the world down to its knees
Smash open the sky
Fire falling down like rain
Down your kingdom crashes
All alone in your empire of ashes

Who's gonna save a soul that never had a heart?
So you can say your prayers, it won't redeem the past
Bury the truth till the earth begins to break
You'll destroy them all till there's no one left to hate

I see the world burn in your eyes
(I watch you justify)
I see the world burn in your eyes
(All who die)

Scorch the earth tonight
Bring the world down to its knees
Smash open the sky
Fire falling down like rain
Down your kingdom crashes
All alone in your empire of ashes

Tell me now, do you feel the weight
Of your crown, of all the lives you take?
Was it worth the price they paid
To sit alone and watch your throne decay?

Scorch the earth tonight
Bring the world down to its knees
Smash open the sky
Fire falling down like rain
Down your kingdom crashes
All alone in your empire of ashes

Empire of ashes

Was it worth the price they paid
To sit alone and watch your throne decay?
