《Every Bloody Emperor》歌词

[00:00:46] By this we are all sustained：a belief in human nature

[00:00:57] And in justice and parity all we have is the faith to carry on

[00:01:15] Imperceptible the change as our votes become mere gestures

[00:01:23] And our lords and masters determine to cast us

[00:01:29] In the roles of serfs and slaves in the new empire's name

[00:01:38] Yes and every bloody emperor claims that freedom is his cause

[00:01:44] As he buffs up on his common touuch as a get out clause

[00:01:55] Unto nations nations speak in the language of the gutter

[00:02:05] Trading primetime insults the imperial impulse

[00:02:10] Extends across the screen

[00:02:16] Truth's been beaten to its knees the lies embed ad infinitum

[00:02:26] Till their repetition becomes a dictum

[00:02:32] We're traittors to disbelieve

[00:02:38] With what impotence we grieve for the democratic process

[00:02:47] As our glorious leaders conspire to feed us

[00:02:52] The last dregs of imperious disdain

[00:02:56] In the new empire's name

[00:03:03] Yes and every bloody emperor's got his hands up history's skirt

[00:03:08] As he poses for posterity over the fresh dug dirt

[00:03:13] Yes and every bloody emperor with his sickly rictus grin

[00:03:18] Talks his way out of nearly everything but the lie within

[00:03:22] Because every bloody emperor thinks his right to rule divine

[00:03:28] So he'll go spinning and spinning and spinning into his own decline

[00:05:01] Imperceptible the change as one by one our voices falter

[00:05:11] And the double standards of propaganda

[00:05:16] Still all our righteous rage

[00:05:28] By this we are all sustained：our belief in human nature

[00:05:39] But our faith diminishes close to the finish

[00:05:46] We're only serfs and slaves

[00:07:00] As the empire decays
