The sword of Damocles and bitter regrets that come with ascending in an empire.

lyrics

*The sword of Damocles and bitter regrets that come with ascending in an empire*

The battle won but at the ultimate sacrifice of self
Countless casualties, the bitter stains of conquest
To defend impossible heights, a chrome monopoly
Foundations so precarious, fall victim to a fool’s folly

War and campaign, decades of blood and sweat
To build capital, so easily poisoned by a foul breeze
Public mandated flagellation, spilled blood coagulating into stars
Mental fragility, caustic thoughts, uncertain if one will get so far

A pyrrhic victory
Relinquishing all that’s within
Victorious but defeated
Defeated but not destroyed

All achievements
Thrown into the furnaces of self-sabotage
Parasites reanimate
Defeated by triumph, eroded from within
Bound by inertia
No inoculation from internal destruction
Coalescing enmity
Bearing the diadem of wrath

What good is a crown
When the head that wears it can so easily be severed
What good is victory
When it destroys everything you love
But is this not the price of progress
To shed our marred and ugly skin
Striving forward, resolve calcifying
A warrior’s destiny to never give in
