MY EMPIRE
[Intro – Vocal Hook]
Ooooooooh…
Ooooooooh…
Ooooooooh… this is war
---
[Verse 1 – The Pain of Obedience]
I stretched my smile on the rack
Every nod split down my spine
Crowned me just to clown me—
I bowed. Now my rage draws the line
---
[Pre-Chorus]
I stayed quiet far too long
Now my silence stings in scars
Ooooh Scars!
---
[Chorus 1]
This is my empire (my empire)
Built on wire and blood
Not peace, not order—
I bled for this empire
This is my empire (my empire)
Born of rage, not honor
No one gave it to me—
Tears built this empire
(That tyrant lay dormant)
(Now lusts for your empire)
Ooooooooooh
---
[Verse 2 – Watch Them Fall]
Now they crawl in velvet chains
Choke on lies they wrote for me
I don’t strike—I stand and watch
While they drown in dignity
---
[Pre-Chorus]
I stayed quiet far too long
Now my silence stings like scars
Oooooh scars
---
[Chorus 2]
This is my empire (my empire)
Built on wire and blood
Not peace, not order—
I bled for this empire
This is my empire (my empire)
Born of rage, not honor
No one gave it to me—
Tears built this empire
(That tyrant lay dormant)
(Now lusts for your empire)
Ooooooooooh
[Bridge ]
I'm not cruel—just thorough
It’s not personal—it’s empire
Did I ask them to fall on glass?
It cost me too—a petty price
Now look what you made me take
(Oh great...) Took lives for my empire
My world is built on broken hope
All hail or hell—your choice to cope
I bloodied, I buried, the offenders
(Ha-ha) I’m the god of this empire
Ooooooooh… this is waaaar!
[Final Chorus singing]
This is my empire (my empire)
Built on wire and blood
Not peace, not order—
I claimed this empire
This is my empire (my empire)
Born of rage, not honor
No one gave it to me—
Tears built this empire
(That tyrant lay dormant)
(Now lusts for your empire)
Ooooooooooh
[Outro – Whispered or Spoken]
I asked for land.
You begged for war.
Still… built my empire.
Ooooooooh… this is war.
