REVOCATION
"Empire Of The Obscene"

From humble beginnings
A tyrant arises
To profit from sinning
Can carry harsh prices
The obstacle of family
And inhibitions of pride
A ruthless monopoly
For wealth he chose to be despised

Circumstances compel that he hide his face
As filth satisfies crudest yearnings
Raids drive his business from place to place
Manipulation disguises his earnings

"You can't convict me for obscenity
Look at all your failed indictments
I'll flaunt my ill-gained amenities
In the face of your moral rightness."
Fuck

From humble beginnings
A tyrant arises
To profit from sinning
Can carry harsh prices

Circumstances compel that he hide his face
As filth satisfies crudest yearnings
Raids drive his business from place to place
Manipulation disguises his earnings

"In arrogance inspiring spite
Your avarice betrays your might
The tyrant defiant, deposed and jailed
Evasive concealment of wealth unveiled."

It's a force-fed falsehood
When money in itself is a goal
Corruption the able tool
To stifle self control
It's a force-fed falsehood
When money in itself is a goal
Corruption the able tool
To stifle self control

Empire
Empire
Empire of the Obscene
Empire of the Obscene
Empire of the Obscene
Empire of the Obscene
Crumbling down
