They preach the gospel

Of iron and steel

Forgetting the sacred

They kill what's real

Material kings with hollow reign

They've sold their souls

For wealth and gain

Builders of fire

Makers of lies

Tearing the world

With blinded eyes

Rise and fall

But none will stay

Ashes to ashes

They burn away

Democracy's slaves

They spread the disease

Egalitarian fools

Who bring us to our knees

With empty thrones

And shattered crowns

The blind will lead

As empires drown

Builders of fire, makers of lies

Tearing the world with blinded eyes

Rise and fall, but none will stay

Ashes to ashes, they burn away

They twist the truth

With progress lies

Break the roots

And cut the ties

Technocrats rise

With hearts of stone

But their machines

Will crush their throne

Builders of fire

Makers of lies

Tearing the world

With blinded eyes

Rise and fall

But none will stay

Ashes to ashes

They burn away

The masses sleep

In chains they stay

Lost in pleasure

Led astray

But from the ruins

Pure and strong

The few will rise

And right the wrong

They lit the flames

They built the pyre

Now they fall into the fire

But from the dark

The few will rise

To claim the truth

Beneath the skies

They burn away!

They burn away!

They lit the flames

They built the pyre

Now they fall into the fire

But from the dark

The few will rise

To claim the truth

Beneath the skies

They burn away!

They burn away!

They burn away!

Ashes to ashes

They burn away!
