Extremist Part 3- Emperor of Man

from Extremist by Gothik Serpent

/

lyrics

Down the vanguard way we go
A gleaming world I once foretold
Don't mind the smell, it's still brand new
Step forth and see, it's a hell of a view

I built this place with my hands
Upon a bed of lies
of treachery and sordid deals

There's bodies in the walls
and smashed up bones under the roads
We had to make do with circumstance

This city was built just for you
Pain and suffering are memories of the past
Stay and bring your family here
But first you must kneel before me

I can achieve
What I believe

I will achieve
What I've decreed

Never again shall democracy prevail
Never, again, tonight
I am the emperor of mankind
we made the world alright
We gave you all your rights
I am the emperor of mankind
we made the world alright
We gave you all your rights
There are the infidels, they hide
We'll save them all, don't fight
But if we must, they'll die
Hunt them all down in the night
No prisoners this time
Your freedom's but a lie

I will tell you just what I am
I am a savior of the land
On this crusade I stand
upon the heathens that are dealt with might

I am the emperor of mankind
we made the world alright
We gave you all your rights
There are the infidels, they hide
We'll save you all, don't fight
But resist and you die

You will never take me
You can never have me
You will never take me
You can never have me

I have been ordained
I have been ordained
I have been orda ined
You shall all be slain

I am in the system
I am now immortal
I am now forever
This is now or never

Soon I'll leave this body
Death will have no meaning
The golden palace crumbles
For I'm now more than human

There was a tear in my eye
You called my name

I remember you now

It's too late for me


Leave the dream
Beneath today
Bring us all back
to a
familiar place

Cleanse my name
(hold it high)
Tell them all
of everything that was
Cleanse my name
(don't deny)
Tell them all
the truth as it stood here

Now that you're home
I'm no longer alone

Cleanse my name
(hold it high)
tell everyone of
everything that was
Cleanse my name
(don't deny)
Tell them all
the truth as it stood here
Cleanse my name
(hold it high)
tell everyone of
everything that was
Cleanse my name
(don't deny)
Return to black
