Taller the Tower - Angelspit

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

BUILD UP/

Aaahhhh…

The tougher the empire

The darker the hunger

Every tower will devour itself

And fall back into the river

This city is a trap without escape

Keep the rats exhausted and afraid

While monoliths watch over us

In our disposable workforce we trust

The tougher the empire

The darker the hunger

Every tower will devour itself

And fall back into the river

CHANT/

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

Coz I’m broke exhausted and afraid

Devine 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

You gotta pay for truth

The tougher the empire

The darker the hunger

Every tower will devour itself

And fall back into the river

CHANT/

The taller the tower

The deeper their devotion

The God at the spire

Falls back into the ocean
