Empire Lyrics


Forth, the armies of conquest and glory

Enslaving the world 'neath our imperial banners

There can be only horror for those who would deny our right

To power and dominion absolute

Our righteous war-cries erupt

Our borders littered by the putrefying enemy corpses

The rulers of bestial lands beyond mere primal yearnings

Through their degenerate madness; our values thus defiled

And in such wanton chaos, anarchy reigns supreme

Utter debasement of their subjects who we now shall claim

This is the doctrine put forth, to unify and order

The savage wretches of the worlds beyond our own

Glory is what we have fought for

Power is what we have gained

Nation, the dominant pride in our hearts set aflame

No subject is too great to question

Our state ensures all shall obey

Perennial honour; an empire bloody and brave

Their torment and suffering resounds

Their borders shattered by the might of our forces

The rulers of greater lands above such vile stirrings

Without shame, fear or sadness, our subjects rightly smile

Within this structured nation, all subjects safe and clean

Enlightened cultured peoples who justify our claim

This is the doctrine put forth, to deify and maintain

The noble citizens of the empire we call home

Strength and Honour

Knowledge and Virtue

Order and Wisdom

Empire

Enslavement and torment deserving

To these rebels and malcontent filth

Broken, their pitiful meagre resources laid waste

Suffer their innocent victims,

To kneel or rot in the dust

Polemical violence and cruelty is but a small cost

Glory is what we have fought for

Power is what we have gained

Nation, the dominant pride in our hearts set aflame

Our righteous war-cries erupt

Our borders littered by the putrefying enemy's corpses

The rulers of bestial lands beyond mere primal yearnings

Through their degenerate madness; our values thus defiled

And in such wanton chaos, anarchy reigns supreme

Utter debasement of their subjects who we now shall claim

This is the doctrine put forth, to unify and order

The savage wretches of the worlds beyond our own

Strength and Honour

Knowledge and Virtue

Order and Wisdom
