Empire of Pines Lyrics

Beware the foul stench of rotting flesh

There's a void deep in the soul
Feeding your fears, it will swallow you whole
rebuke its constraints, escape and be free
Let go of yourself, and claim what you could be.

With all that you find in the madness of mind
Become the lord of slime

I'm sinking so deep (I'm sinking so deep)

Fall out of line
Grasp the unknown
Spirit maligned
A life we chose

Reject the premise that we only exist
To breed and to die and then hope we'll be missed
There's beauty & joy in the absence of time
Breathe in the depths - leave it all behind

All that I see is all I need
The beast I'm meant to be

I've given everything that I've got
nothing left but it still won't stop
Breaking all of what I have to give
Take me out and leave me

Empire of pines
A King alone
Enter decline
Embrace the throne
