Unseen Empire

Lyrics:

To have is to hate
According to predictive texts of everlasting nothingness
You say you'd like to love, but it's too late
The age at which we understand is getting older every day
But the men who quoted the man -- "who craves not these things, you are reckless" --
Are back shooting rabbits in town, so you'd better watch out
They're our generation terrorists

The king changed everything
So take us back to the start of the war machine
Real life in theory
When those who lived let us pass away peacefully
The unseen empire
You don't know what you're missing now
You let us down

Obscene wardrobes and walk-in wars
If nothing else we gave it all of our spare time's soul
Under my boot I crush the flies
That gather round your children's heads and lay a generation fed on lies
Isn't it ironic to think it's untrustworthy to blink
When all we count for is nothing more
Than a blink of an eye? We should open our eyes
But there's some things we don't want to find

The king changed everything
So take us back to the start of the war machine
Real life in theory
When those who lived let us pass away peacefully
The unseen empire
You don't know what you're missing now
You let us down

The stars are guaranteed
The safety of a thousand feet dug in deep beneath our feet
Don't they know they are the ones
We should be keeping on a 'lectric leash to be all we'd have to outrun?
Spread the fires around, let 'em water it down to believe in
Take a casual stroll through the lunatic bin
And see faith does not prove anything

The king changed everything
So take us back to the start of the war machine
Real life in theory
When those who lived let us pass away peacefully
The unseen empire
You don't know what you're missing now
You let us down
