Hegemony Defied

A super power stumbles under the weight of its own name
Its reputation deathly wounded, all see what it became
Its global domination crumbles down before our eyes
Everything that rises someday falls down and dies

Falling down
Its towers lie destroyed
Home of the grave
Where freedom became void

Home of the grave
We need an aggression event
A domestic affair
To domesticate dissent

Fatal defiance - No turning back
Hegemony defied - The future turns black
Fatal defiance - Now it's too late
Hegemony defied - For an empire of hate

Falling down
Its towers lie destroyed
Home of the grave
Where freedom became void

Home of the grave
We need an aggression event
A domestic affair
To masticate dissent

Paper tiger
Hollow, dry and decayed
Baring its fangs
But its strength begins to fade
Third world vampire
Evil empire
Imploding beast
That none dared resist
Unforeseen forces have now been released

Having hypocrites for leaders has taken its toll
Maybe in the future there might be a different role
From the smoking ruins can something new arise
Perhaps with higher ethics and some effort to be wise

Fatal defiance - No turning back
Hegemony defied - The future turns black
Fatal defiance - Now it's too late
Hegemony defied - For an empire of hate
