They sit on thrones built high in the sky
While below the world cries out and dies
Hands that never worked pockets never bare
They smile in darkness they don't care
They trade the earth for coins and steel
But what they've lost they'll never feel
From the rubble they build their reign
Yet every kingdom's born in pain
Silver in their veins but hearts turned to coal
They gather the pieces but sell their soul
In their grasp the world slips away
While the poor toil in the lightless day
In thrones of ash they rise so tall
But the fire burns and soon they fall
The cities they build they won't survive
For no empire of greed will stay alive
In thrones of ash where shadows reign
They crush the weak for their own gain
But every stone laid with lies and fear
Will crumble to dust as the end draws near
The streets are lined with broken dreams
While the rich drink from poisoned streams
They turn the land into barren waste
All for the gold they blindly chase
The children beg for just one chance
But their cries are lost in the hollow dance
A dance of power a waltz of death
While the world collapses with every breath
Silver in their veins but hearts turned to coal
They gather the pieces but sell their soul
In their grasp the world slips away
While the poor toil in the lightless day
In thrones of ash they rise so tall
But the fire burns and soon they fall
The cities they build they won't survive
For no empire of greed will stay alive
In thrones of ash where shadows reign
They crush the weak for their own gain
But every stone laid with lies and fear
Will crumble to dust as the end draws near
The higher they climb the further they fall
When the towers of glass are nothing at all
In the end the fires they've stoked will consume
And all that remains is the cold and the gloom
They thought they owned it all held the key
But no one escapes when the world breaks free
In thrones of ash they rise so tall
But the fire burns and soon they fall
The cities they build they won't survive
For no empire of greed will stay alive
In thrones of ash where shadows reign
They crush the weak for their own gain
But every stone laid with lies and fear
Will crumble to dust as the end draws near
