so long forgotten - an empire razed (a kingdom raised) lyrics

those myriads who raised the pyramids
that bottom that built for the top
they scaled those walls
to see the blessings i said i’ve got
and i realized my deserts only better
if the good lord deems the necessary plight of weather

oh how i hoped, oh how i’d gloat
for a wicked escape from their homes as if i had it all, as if i wasn’t still drinking from that moat

they fixed their eyes on a god stuck in the sky
they kept their gaze on the rooftops, not the death inside
thеy fixed their eyеs on a god stuck in the sky
some place for escape, but eternity began before our time
there stood truth in the darkest night, maybe the tyrants had fallen by the wayside
and i watched from my mountain what i thought was a holy light they’d brought down the priests, they’d brought down the priests and their religion with fire
they burnt the churches where they’d worshipped, not a single heart contrite
and i burnt a cigarette, drank the kings whiskey to help clear my mind

they set it ablaze like desert brush on a summer’s day
we could have dirtied our hands and washed the lies away
for truth exists, and oh how it exists
but like my mother says, ”we’ll probably have it all wrong in the end”

i fixed my eyes on the sun stuck in the sky
i kept my eyes on the source of that light
oh i fixed my eyes
i fixed my eyes
