lyrics

Where’s the threat of death
when only gods are left?
Blessed be the flesh
of the emperor in a state of undress.
Impressed with the depths
he tread from the wreck,
where’s the threat of death
when only fucks like him are left?
Is that what I look like?
Is that what I look like?
Stomach full, but never took a bite.
Gave myself a fright,
gave myself a fright.
No one’d share it with me, I wonder why.

This cannot be where the path has always led,
pawning off our essence for a deathbed.
The king’s held us for ransom. Off with his head.
A dead end sign for the next in line:
“Everything’s fine.”

Mirror mirror, tell me now,
who’s the fairest of the clowns?
May we parade them through the center of town?
Well shit, I don’t need to look around.
Spare me your bloodless crown.
Cast your dead over the bough
and keep it down.
It’s just a cut.
It’s just a cut.
Might as well sell what’s left of us.
When will it be enough?
When will it be enough?
It never will.
Thank god I finally wised up.

This cannot be where the path has always led,
pawning off our essence for a deathbed.
The king’s held us for ransom. Off with his head.
A dead end sign for the next in line:
“Everything’s fine.”

The end thinks it’s nigh.
Brace for impact,
‘cause it hasn’t felt the kickback.

I’ve got a taste for bait.
An arms race with the state.
A staged cage match
against a colossus arcane.
I’ve seen it drive this sleigh,
I ain’t giving up the reins.
There are no stalemates
when punching gods in the face.
I haven’t lost yet.
I haven’t lost yet.
Broken a sweat, almost out of breath.
What did I expect?
What did I expect
when only fucks like him are left?

This cannot be where the path has always led,
pawning off our essence for a deathbed.
The king’s held us for ransom. Off with his head.
A dead end sign for the next in line:
“Everything’s fine.”

Everything’s fine.
