Empiria
The Black League Lyrics

Can you hear the BIG WHEEL TURNING?
Are you aware of the significant changes in society?

Take a ride with the BIG BAD BLACK MACHINE!
Join The Black League in facilitating these changes.

So you wanna play a part in the so-called "BRAVE NEW WORLD"?
Do you want to be part of the future society?

You say you're gonna ride that WAVE and be there when it's HAPPENING.
You want to witness the change and be an active participant.

You say that you will take part to the so-called "GREAT EVENT".
You want to be part of the significant historical event.

Just how you're gonna make it to the BOOKS and build the FUTURE
How will you contribute to the development of the future society?

If you step DOWN from your tower
If you come out of your shell,

You'll see a world that is GONE
You will observe a world that no longer exists.

And when you look at YOURSELF you'll see that you're gone
And when you look within yourself, you'll realize the old version of you is gone.

- Yeah, You're gone NOW!
Yes, you have already changed

This ain't your PIPE DREAM, babe!
This is not a fantasy, this is reality.

This is what's HAPPENING!
This is the current state of the world

Just step OUTSIDE of your goddamn tower.
Come out of your shell and face the reality.

- Into THIS world.
Become part of the current society.

Wanna know where we're HEADING?
Do you want to know where society is headed?

You wanna have a NEW BEGINNING?
Do you want to start fresh?

- You don't know EMPIRIA
Then you can't understand the change that is happening

You wanna know where we're heading NOW?
Do you want to know the current direction of society?

You wanna have a new beginning NOW?
Do you want to start anew now?

- You gotta know EMPIRIA
Then you must understand the changes that are actively taking place

And now you can see them SIGNS right about everywhere you look
You can now notice the signs of change all around.

And you can SENSE there's something WRONG with YOURSELF too.
You can sense the need for personal growth within yourself as well.

When all the streets are CROWDED and all the beasts run WILD
In a society where chaos seems rampant,

And when the WALLS and TOWERS of this town COLLIDE
And when societal structures come into conflict

While you feel so NUMB and TIRED
While you feel exhausted and disconnected

When looking DOWN from my window
Observing the world from my vantage point

I see a TIRED OLD WORLD that is GONE
I see a world that is past its prime and no longer exists.

And when I look at myself I see that I'm GONE
And when I reflect on myself, I realize the old version of me is gone.

- Yeah, I'm gone now!
I have already changed.

This is THE REAL THING, babe!
This is the actual, factual state of the world.

This is what's happening NOW!
This is the current state of the world.

Wanna know where we're HEADING?
Do you want to understand the current direction of society?

You wanna have a NEW BEGINNING?
Do you want to start anew?

- You don't know EMPIRIA
Then you can't comprehend the changes that are taking place.
