Arcane Mages

[Verse 1] They sit behind the glass in towers made of gold Ancient books open, their fingers stained with old They don’t care for nations, they don’t care for names They only care for ledgers and the numbers in their games [Pre-Chorus] They print the paper, they own the chain They turn the wheel and watch the world in pain They smile when the markets crash and burn Because every loss is money they can earn [Chorus] Arcane mages… 秘術の魔術師 They drain the silver from the veins of the earth Arcane mages… 秘術の魔術師 They trade in souls and call it worth They own the banks, they own the trade They own the rules that the poor have made 秘術の魔術師 And they never give, they only take [Verse 2] They lend you chains and call it opportunity They drown you in debt and sell it as security They fund the wars, they fund the lies Then profit from the tears that fall from children’s eyes [Pre-Chorus] They speak in numbers, they speak in code They hide their hunger in the fine print no one knows They don’t need swords, they don’t need flame They kill you slowly with the ink inside their name [Chorus] Arcane mages… 秘術の魔術師 They drain the silver from the veins of the earth Arcane mages… 秘術の魔術師 They trade in souls and call it worth They own the banks, they own the trade They own the rules that the poor have made 秘術の魔術師 And they never give, they only take [Bridge] I’ve seen their towers, I’ve seen their thrones I’ve seen the empires built on broken bones They think their magic makes them safe and clean But I’ve come to burn the pages of their schemes [Final Chorus] Arcane mages… 秘術の魔術師 Your books won’t save you when the fire starts 秘術の魔術師 I’ll tear the ledgers from your rotting hearts You owned the world, but now you’ll see The hunter doesn’t kneel to sorcery 秘術の魔術師 Tonight your magic dies with me [Outro] 秘術の魔術師… Your time is ending The silver you hoarded Will be your ending
