lyrics

Unrealistic expectations
Fill your haughty mind
Watch your men go down in battle
And act as if you’re blind

Don’t you see that your kingdom’s falling?
Your neglect is rather appalling
Thrashing stones, hoping blood will come out
While the works of others you tout

Parade in front of all your guests
While your own people starve,
Chipping away at your visions
Unjust is what you are

Abuse for a small bit of glory
Look at the corpses lain out before thee
The truth you shall never hide
Rats flee cause water’s inside

CHORUS
Oh, how the mighty fall
There’s no one who wins at all
We shall all abandon it
Like rats from a sinking ship

Solo – Dom
Solo – Alec

CHORUS

Unrealistic expectations
Fill your haughty mind
Watch your men go down in battle
And act as if you’re blind

Don’t you see that your kingdom’s falling?
Your neglect is rather appalling
Thrashing stones, hoping blood will come out
While the works of others you tout

CHORUS
