Lyrics

They had laid the breath of life
Upon the burning altar
Still they found the fruit bittersweet
But God looked down from heaven and
She cried are you surprised
When all you lay is blood here at my feet
You thought that you were able
To read me through your fable
So you killed across my garden in my name
And in your quest for liberty
You sent a billion souls to me
But tyrants I always judge the same
For when the winds of Empire
Have blown you to the grave
Should I open up my arms to you
Are you worthy to be saved
My heavens filled with children
You killed along the way
I have no room for Caesars
This is judgment day
You mouthed your empty platitudes
Hid your bloody hands
While the garden I had given you
Turned to barren land
The innocent among you
You crushed beneath your heels
And you want me to love you
Though I swear you're made of steel
Your kings and Caesars chased their greed
While my planet cried in need
And in your arrogance you told me
That you knew my plan
But I am just a mystery
You wrote out of your history
A matriarchal circle
You will never understand
And when the winds of Empire
Have blown you to the grave
Should I open up my arms to you
Are you worthy to be saved
My heavens filled with children
You killed along the way
I have no room for Caesars
This is judgment day
And when they bury Caesar
In his robes of silk and lace
He will stand in regal innocence
Demanding final grace
I'll be in no mood to bargain
He had every chance you see
To break the chains
that he must wear
Through all eternity
Repeat Chorus
