Ivory Tower

Bearing all the weight
Of empires
Buckle at the knee
Collapsing
Beneath gluttony
Agony
Death will set me free

Weary
Bitter broken burnt out
Angry
Abysmally
Grinding myself down
To dust for mere pennies
Shackled
Chained upon my own blood machine
Draining
The life force from my veins
As you watch from your ivory tower

Covetous hands severed at the wrist
You've taken much more that you need
When open arms become closed fists

We know our worth
We will not stand by
And take what we are given
Subservient
No longer
You need us more than we need you
We know we're free to walk away
Subservient no longer
We know our worth

Bearing all the weight
Of empires
Buckle at the knee
Collapsing
Beneath gluttony
Agony
Death will set me free

Another casualty of avarice
Enough is finally enough
Another casualty of avarice
Enough is finally enough

We know our worth
We will not stand by
And take what we are given
Subservient
No longer
You need us more than we need you
We know we're free to walk away
Subservient no longer
We know we're free to walk away"
