Politics of a heretic, consequence of the unknown The putrid stench of lies, ascending from the throne No matter the time, nor the place It has always been this way Tell them all what they want to hear Make the people pay Dominate and control, the creed is still the same To suppress your rights is the reason for this game Rob you of your voice, to suffocate the will Say what they must, to gain your trust Go in for the kill Contriving deception Seeds of propaganda Spread like a virus To breed their agenda All for one and one for all Some will never hear the call All for none and none for all And the empires fall, fall Rise up, face it, but will we ever change it Built on power to control the masses All through the ages men have ruled with fists of iron Man then becomes God, and the empires fall Man becomes God, as the empires fall Paid with warrior's blood In the name of a man-made God A false divinity, a malevolent authority Follow me, a prevaricating fraud Through iron and fire Man becomes God Pay with your blood Kneel before your new God We'll tell you what you believe No need to think for yourself All for one and one for all Some will never hear the call All for none and none for all As the empires fall As the empires fall
