By a Thread Lyrics

Album: Chains

Suffer

Omnipotent with this noose around my neck

Awaiting the executioner drops the blade

The greater good, a glorified hypocrisy

Without me only anarchy

I don't drive the tanks

Not in the boots of my mates

While the gods reign supreme

That's my simplest dream

Instead I'm strung to my throne

In this fortress of bones

An empire that's built

By blood from broken men

Cruelty begot efficiency

This world belongs to me

Suffer

Suffer

Suffer

Suffer

The epitome of glory

Preserving what is dear to me

I'll raze uncontrollably

And strike fear into my enemies

Any dog can bite its master

Any slave can kill his handler

Any prince, abandon honor

Any wife can poison water

Every friend can implant doubt

Every spy could sell you out

Every song could turn to a shout

Every second of your life must count

Cruelty begot efficiency

This world belongs to me

When I die noone cries for I am

I am despised

I'll stoke the flames that roar

To save my own life

I'll burn it down, I'll kill you all

To save my own life

My power paid in bloody tax

My fear no different from the common man

I will kill to save my own life

By a thread the sword hangs

Just one thread from my demise

I will kill to save my own life

Just one cut, the sword drops

And so I'll kill to save my own life

I will kill to save myself
