Rulers of Decay

(Verse 1) Shadows cloak the throne Kings of greed command Cities made of stone Empire's iron hand (Pre-Chorus) Schemes in the dark Puppets on their strings Falling apart Power's bitter sting (Chorus) Rulers of decay No truth in their eyes Hollow words betray Underneath the disguise Rulers of decay No truth in their eyes Hollow words betray Underneath the disguise (Verse 2) Gold-stained whispers Halls echo with lies Hidden blisters Masking their demise (Pre-Chorus) Schemes in the dark Puppets on their strings Falling apart Power's bitter sting (Chorus) Rulers of decay No truth in their eyes Hollow words betray Underneath the disguise Rulers of decay No truth in their eyes Hollow words betray Underneath the disguise (Bridge) Cogs in the wheel Faceless in control Souls they steal To feed their blackened soul (Instrumental Breakdown) (Chorus) Oh! Rulers of decay No truth in their eyes Hollow words betray Underneath the disguise Rulers of decay No truth in their eyes Hollow words betray Underneath the disguise (Instrumental Outro)
