Bend the knee, you cowards While the ship just sank One person you can thank Walk the field of flowers Filled with nameless graves They could've all been saved Don't tell me how this started We've reached the end You dig your grave as ordered You claim it's worth it all Straight off the cliff, march forward Then wonder why your empire falls Bend the knee, you cowards Walk the fucking plank One person you can thank See the crumbling towers A busy burning bank Good thing that you were brave Don't tell me how this started We've reached the end You dig your grave as ordered You claim it's worth it all Straight off the cliff, march forward Then wonder why your empire falls I'll go to hell, I'll stoke the flames Engraving bullets with some names I serve no throne, I have no shame Don't play by rules of broken games You dig your grave as ordered You claim it's worth it all Straight off the cliff, march forward Then wonder why your empire falls Your empire falls
