Empires lyrics
This song speaks to the struggles of societies trying to build sustainable empires and redefine trust in new gods. The worrisome concept of zero being one more than null serves as a reminder that change is inevitable and necessary. The lyrics represent the chaotic and ever-changing battlefields, where foxes and shock troops come out of the mist and livewire and stick become the new gods. The oppressive forces of faith and hate are present throughout the song and convey a sense of fear and mistrust. Despite the struggles and challenges, the song is ultimately an empowering anthem of taking control and having faith in one's own empires.

Ooh, empires
Oh, empires
Empires, your help is on the way
In bonfires slash, circuit breaks and change
Empires, empires
No, you needn't worry, hey!
'Bout your empires
EmpiresYou know that zero is one more than null
But a zero can't leave well-enough alone
Oh, empiresCome and meet your new gods
Livewire and stick
Shock troops and foxes, stumble from the mist
Empires, empires
You should mind your trust
Of these empires
EmpiresYou know that zero is one more than null
But a zero can't leave well-enough aloneWho will come for you, oh no
No, no
Who can't hide from us, oh no
No, no
Pick your own avatars for graves
No, noOoh, empires
Come and meet your new gods
Livewire and stick
Shock troops and foxes stumble from the mistIt's about your empires
Empires
It's about your empires
Empires
It's about your empires
EmpiresOoh, empires
The fascist face of faith
Empires
Kiss the brutal fist of hate, hey!
Empires, empires
Who owns the black of the night
In your empires
Empires
