Empire
Reigning Days Lyrics

I am the dealer that dealt it
I am the one who caused my own problems by taking risks.

By breaking everyone of my bones
I suffered a lot and went through many hardships to get to where I am now.

Put out the feelers to find me
I am searching for something or someone, and I am open to new opportunities.

The copycat will follow me home
People who see my success will try to copy me, but they will not achieve the same results.

Stuck in the poison of systems united
I am trapped in corrupt institutions where people work together to maintain their power and control.

So cry in the corner of small things, to fight it
I am willing to fight for what I believe in, even if it means starting small and working my way up.

How much do you really want to know?
I am curious about what people really want to learn about me and my success.

Trying to silence the Masses
Those in power are trying to suppress the voices of the people who want to speak up and be heard.

If everybody did what they told
If people followed orders without question, they would not be able to create change or challenge authority.

I'm just a head case so stay back, just in case
I am someone who takes risks and is unpredictable, so others should be careful around me.

Don't be romantic and panic
Don't get carried away with emotion and lose sight of what needs to be done.

It's over just as quick as you come
Success can come and go in an instant, so always be ready to work hard and adapt to change.

I am an empire, down on my knees
I am a powerful force, but I am still vulnerable and can fall at any moment.

I'm here on the inside, where everything bleeds
I am in a position of power, but I am not immune to pain and suffering.

So give me a reason to show you my teeth
I am willing to defend myself and my position, but only if provoked or challenged.

Cos I am an empire, and you're underneath
I am in control, and those who are weaker or less fortunate are at my mercy.
