Enterprise of Empire - Artifex Pereo

To be passed down, to be passed down

Eyes were blindly turned to shake the hurt

Pouring from endemic souls

Resistance was met with blows to the heads

And hearts that could share our blood

You say you’re the best, but define the worst

To be passed down, to be passed

We’re all born with a light

Waiting to cut through enveloping shadow

Imposing our sight

When a man decides to build his own throne

Ground was laid to conserve mindsets drowned in bias gold

With land to claim followed a violence quenching longing kings

Drafting plans of humans bought and sold

They claimed the saving of the «half-devils»

They filled their young with malice that permeates

Danger is a country founded on

A staircase of necks that provided its steps to the top

Looking down your nose you’ll find that

You created a monster that’s growing the darkest of hearts

At times we’re lost in what surrounds, it’s all common ground

Escape the vile, swelling clouds bestowed with your crown

(Ride the hate and extirpate the world)

Ground was laid to conserve mindsets drowned in bias gold

With land to claim followed a violence quenching longing kings

Drafting plans of humans bought and sold

They claimed the saving of the «half-devils»

They came to the west and inscribed

Words to be passed down with eyes

Blindly turned to shake the pain forced

They came to the west and inscribed

Words to be passed down with eyes

Blindly turned to shake the pain pouring

They came to the west and inscribed

Words to be passed down with eyes

Blindly turned to shake the pain pouring
