Empire of Gold - Culture Clash

The darkest chapter opened up
In front of our eyes
And pierced into our hearts on fire
With cold desires
And the author to this bloody book
Is mother herself
She sent me to the freedom land
This culture clash
And we’re searching for a reason
An apprehension left untold
I’m not the soul I was before
I’m not bruised with inequities that left me sore
I’ve defeated demons in the night
That fought so hard to block the light
And I’m never going back to write
These empty melodies that made me stay up all night
Gonna get it right tonight
I’m certain now the words I speak
Are subtle beliefs
And the words I never spoke as a child
Are pouring out
From fear and loathing
To tears I’m exposing
And we’re searching for a reason
A comprehension left untold
And time and time I think about
The years I spent living in doubt
And I hope you’re happy bringing down
This world on your kids and knocking us down
And spinning us round and round
There’s only one that deserves this loving, beautiful sound
Dad, I hope we make you proud
You’ve got us singing
Look at us now
Where are you now
I’m not the soul I was before
I’m not bruised with inequities that left me sore
I’ve defeated demons in the night
That fought so hard to block the light
And I’m never going back to write
These empty melodies that made me stay up all night
Gonna get it right tonight
And time and time I think about
The years I spent living in doubt
And I hope you’re happy bringing down
This world on your kids and knocking us down
And spinning us round and round
There’s only one that deserves this loving, beautiful sound
Dad, I hope we make you proud
We’ll never ever truly breathe
Till we see you again
