Bloodlike Red

Say goodbye to the world that you knew
Your tower has fallen, now gone are "the few"

You're left on your knees with a sack on your head

Fury and fear is all that is left
Hands tied behind your back you might as well be dead

You're naked except for your proud ornament
It flaps in the wind your red tie, bloodlike red

Now the tower has fallen to the ground
What we'll do to survive
We'll tell stories of a better time
To remind ourselves how to thrive

Yeah now the tower has crumbled to the ground
It was all that they had
And we'll tell stories of a better time
Just to get by
Just to survive, in hell

Hail the rebels have won
The kingdom has fallen and the queen has the throne

What's left of the throne is just splinters and dust
What's left overall is just not that much

But fire and flood and drought and disease
Continue to ravage the planet with ease

Casualties taken for an end without peace

Yeah hunger and pain will keep silence the way
To observe, to speak, there's not much to say
