You have high hopes
Higher than most
To change
And those around you
Are waiting for the day
With less required
As they remain
Building empires requires
A fortitude of mind
Tearing down the towers of standing powers
An eye for an eye
You come with fists
And armies strong
For war
But the crown upon your head
Means nothing anymore
You never stopped to consider
What you're fighting for
Building empires requires
A fortitude of mind
Tearing down the towers of standing powers
An eye for an eye
Lay down
Lay down upon your sword.
