The tougher the empire, the darker the hunger
Every tower will devour itself and fall back into the river
You gotta pay for truth
Liars become gods and never die
Fool the slaves to think they're free
While building pyramids to reach the sky
This city is a trap without escape
Keep the rats exhausted and afraid
While monoliths watch over us
In our disposable workforce we trust
Ah-oh
The tougher the empire, the darker the hunger
Every tower will devour itself and fall back into the river

The tougher the empire, the darker the hunger
Every tower will devour itself and fall back into the river
The taller the tower, the deeper their devotion
The God at the spire falls back into the ocean
The taller the tower, the deeper their devotion
The God at the spire falls back into the ocean
I can't afford the truth
While liars become gods and reach the sky
Fooled this slave to think I'm free
Building their pyramids 'til I die
If I work a little harder I can't escape
'Cause I'm broke, exhausted, and afraid
Divine gift to the working class
Is the cycle of poverty we cannot break
You gotta pay for truth
You gotta pay for truth
You gotta pay for truth
