Imperial Triumphant – Excelsior
Music Video Published on November 20, 2020
Lyrics
Behold! The great beast.
From enormous means
and sweeping vision
Digested existence
In the mouth of Moloch
The dead kiss
of luxury
Keeps you a slave
Whispering softly:
‘Now, back to work'.
What magnificence!
Deluded offspring
Inherit arrogance
where the strong become weak
Dead splendor
Excelsior.
Suffering pleasure
Excelsior.
Bread of shame
Excelsior.
Electric utopia
For unworthy sons
Mother of greed
Devotion devoid
Excelsior prime
From enormous means
and sweeping vision
Digested existence
In the mouth of Moloch
The dead kiss
of luxury
Keeps you a slave
Whispering softly:
‘Now, back to work'.
What magnificence!
Deluded offspring
Inherit arrogance
where the strong become weak
Dead splendor
Excelsior.
Suffering pleasure
Excelsior.
Bread of shame
Excelsior.
Electric utopia
For unworthy sons
Mother of greed
Devotion devoid
Excelsior prime
