Bend the knee, you cowards
While the ship just sank
One person you can thank
Walk the field of flowers
Filled with nameless graves
They could've all been saved
Don't tell me how this started
We've reached the end
You dig your grave as ordered
You claim it's worth it all
Straight off the cliff, march forward
Then wonder why your empire falls
Bend the knee, you cowards
Walk the fucking plank
One person you can thank
See the crumbling towers
A busy burning bank
Good thing that you were brave
Don't tell me how this started
We've reached the end
You dig your grave as ordered
You claim it's worth it all
Straight off the cliff, march forward
Then wonder why your empire falls
I'll go to hell, I'll stoke the flames
Engraving bullets with some names
I serve no throne, I have no shame
Don't play by rules of broken games
You dig your grave as ordered
You claim it's worth it all
Straight off the cliff, march forward
Then wonder why your empire falls
Your empire falls
