- Songwriters: Matthew Barlow, Jon Schaffer
It does not take much to destroy a man
Give him rope and he will hang
Same can be said for a dynasty
So fat with itself, can no longer feed
Rome will burn when its time has come
Ottoman tribes fade away
The social cults empower puppet men
Leaving me to pull the strings
Kingdoms fall to the ground
Crushed by their own greed
An unquenching need to destroy
Empires fall by my design
Lust for power speaks
Time people need to destroy
Your future's clear if you can look back
Every culture's earned their fate
Your gluttony as my tool of choice
You've proved you're worthless every day
Kingdoms fall to the ground
Crushed by their own greed
An unquenching need to destroy
Empires fall by my design
Lust for power speaks
Time people need to destroy
Kingdoms fall to the ground
Crushed by their own greed
An unquenching need to destroy
Empires fall by my design
Lust for power speaks
Time people need to destroy
Kingdoms fall to the ground
Crushed by their own greed
An unquenching need to destroy
Empires fall by my design
Lust for power speaks
Time people need to destroy
Kingdoms fall to the ground
Crushed by their own greed
An unquenching need to destroy
Empires fall by my design
Lust for power speaks
Time people need to destroy
