Moving
at the speed of sound
I feel
a new empire crowned
There
from Athens to Berlin
Bloodlines
just underneath the skin

Trying to remain unseen
living on dreams and methedrine
With the soul of a neutron bomb
one spark and everything is gone

Living in tomorrow never comes
over the limit and on the run
Still not certain what you want
just the evidence that you are not

Watch the empires fall
Watch the temples burn
Watch every man sifting through the ashes
Watch it all
come down

Moving
at the speed of sound
I feel
a new empire crowned
There
from Athens to Berlin
Bloodlines
just underneath the skin

Into the vein and out of control
following the night where the crippled go
searching in the concrete castles
for any trace of God

But the only God that you can touch
is the gun within your hands
and the only lover you can trust
is running through your veins

Watch the empires fall
Watch the temples burn
Watch every man sifting through the ashes
Watch it all
come down
