The Kingdoms of Wisdom & Folly

from Empires by Wen Reagan

/

lyrics

Her throat is an open grave
beckoning the dead
She whispers lies in their ears
With spices and choice fruits
she beckons the passerby
to come and drink of her wine
But will you come to me?
Will you come to me?
Will you taste and see
that I am good, that I am good
I'm all that you want
I'm all that you need
when she's left you out to dry,
out here among the dead
I'm all that you crave
I'm all that you thirst for
when she's all you can see
even when she's all that you want to be
She cries aloud in the street
beckoning the wise
to come and eat of her bread
She's more precious than jewels
all her paths are peace
so come and drink of her wine
But will you come to me?
Will you come to me?
Will you taste and see,
that I am good, that I am good
I'm all that you want
I'm all that you need
when she's left you out to dry
out here among the dead
I'm all that you crave
I'm all that you thirst for
when she's all you can see
even when she's all that you want to be
I can't tell the difference between
wisdom and folly until it's too late
and to the grave entrapped in a fool's death
I'll never know who's right or wrong here
I can't see what empire I'm in
allegiances are blind without
the fear of the Lord
Without the fear of the Lord
So will you come to me?
Will you come to me?
Will you taste and see
that I am good, that I am good
