A.D. and Gregor combine their musical styles to create something uniquely dark and brooding.
the concept of Viral Millennium is to capture the violence of humanity and realize it as a full sonic assault through their own hybrid style of industrialized hard rock and metal!

Empire
Viral Millennium Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What we would once kill for that day
An Empire of narcism built upon vein
Lay me with the sister of natures bliss
To remove myself from today
Why is the world drowning on me?
What you see is in the moment
You see my son, its already gone
Take me from where
obsession grips to subtlety
A constant clinging
like a thread of corsetry
Violence and beauty take away
what we would once kill for that day
An Empire of narcism built upon vain
Lay me with the sister of natures bliss
to remove myself from today
The choice to wear of the silhouettes kiss
or the temptation of twenty black roses
spun in leather with a moonlit shine
wearing white silk to the marriage of tempt and lies
Loving two halves full but being two wrong
the walk is over but the stench is strong
To live in regret is what they want
but to play the game with one foot in front
The lyrics of Viral Millennium's "Empire" are highly poetic and introspective, exploring themes of violence, beauty, and narcissism. The opening lines suggest that these two seemingly opposite forces, violence and beauty, have the power to take away from us what we once held dear. The concept of an empire built upon narcissism is introduced, implying that society as a whole is plagued by self-love and vanity. The singer yearns to escape this reality by laying with the "sister of nature's bliss," suggesting a desire for a return to simplicity and natural beauty.
The second verse questions why the world feels like it is drowning the singer, and why everything seems crystal clear but obscured by water. The idea of impermanence is introduced with the line, "it's already gone." The singer then seeks a way out, to move from the obsessive clinging of modern society towards something more subtle and natural. The chorus is repeated once more, emphasizing the destruction caused by violence and beauty, and renewing the singer's desire to escape.
The final stanza presents the choice between two halves, perhaps representing the duality within the singer's own psyche. The imagery of twenty black roses spun in leather and white silk suggests temptation and deception. The singer is torn between two wrongs, but ultimately chooses to move forward and "play the game with one foot in front."
Line by Line Meaning
Violence and beauty take away
The allure of violence and beauty can take away from what we truly value
What we would once kill for that day
We may have once been willing to do anything for what we desire
An Empire of narcism built upon vein
Society has become obsessed with self-importance at the expense of others
Lay me with the sister of natures bliss
I want to be at peace and in harmony with nature
To remove myself from today
I want to escape from the chaos and negativity of the present
Why is the world drowning on me?
I feel overwhelmed and suffocated by the problems of the world
What you see is in the moment
What you observe is only temporary and fleeting
But so crystal clear and under water?
Despite the purity of what you observe, it is still obscured by chaos
You see my son, its already gone
I am warning you that what you witness will soon be lost to time and memory
Take me from where obsession grips to subtlety
I want to leave behind a society fixated on superficiality and embrace depth and nuance
A constant clinging like a thread of corsetry
The superficiality of society is suffocating and restricts our true desires
The choice to wear of the silhouettes kiss
The choice to succumb to society's ideals of beauty
or the temptation of twenty black roses
The alternative is the temptation of darkness and corruption
Spun in leather with a moonlit shine
The temptation is seductive and alluring
Wearing white silk to the marriage of tempt and lies
Attempting to deceive oneself and others in pursuit of one's desires
Loving two halves full but being two wrong
Being torn between two opposing desires, neither of which is truly fulfilling
The walk is over but the stench is strong
Having reached the end of a journey or experience, but being left with a bad taste in one's mouth
To live in regret is what they want
Others may want us to dwell on our mistakes and feel remorse
But to play the game with one foot in front
I choose to move forward and take life one step at a time
