Feeling like today is the day
You better make a move
Up and out and afraid
You better execute
Through the city, decayed
The people watching you
Get the fuck out the way
'Cause they could get it too
Lord as your witness
You just don't need no forgiveness
Don't know who's next on your hit list
You just handle your business
Suicidal, I say
You're bloody, tied away
Don't give a fuck if they hate you
You're the god that they pray to
Heavy is the head that wears the crown of thorns
Empire, empire
Heavy is the head that wears the crown of thorns
Empire, empire
I'm all alone with my solitary violence
God, I wanna sleep, but I can't close my eyelids
Back to the streets, 'cause we know all the right kids
Built this fucking city on the backs of the white pricks
So fucking cold
Another death sentence and another soul sold
It's all I know
I'm gonna die fast, bitch, you can die slow
I'm a dead man, a fucking dead man walking
I blew my head up, but he kept on talking
I saw myself die and I kept on watching
Went straight to Heaven, but I kept on knocking
(Kept on knocking)
Heavy is the head that wears the crown of thorns
Empire, empire
Heavy is the head that wears the crown of thorns
Empire, empire
(Lord as your witness
You just don't need no forgiveness
Don't know who's next on your hit list
You just handle your business)
Empire, empire
(Suicidal, I say
You're bloody, tied away
Don't give a fuck if they hate you
You're the god that they pray to)
Empire, empire
I'm a storm without a warning
The black clouds that are forming
I turn the river red
I am deliverance
I'm a storm without a warning
The black clouds that are forming
I turn the river red
I am deliverance
Heavy is the head that wears the crown of thorns
Empire, empire
Heavy is the head that wears the crown of thorns
Empire, empire
(Lord as your witness
You just don't need no forgiveness
Don't know who's next on your hit list
You just handle your business)
Empire, empire
(Suicidal, I say
You're bloody, tied away
Don't give a fuck if they hate you
You're the god that they pray to)
