Deutsch:
Der Song beschreibt eine wütende Anklage gegen die ewige Unterwerfung der Massen unter Herrscher – von Pharaonen über Kaiser bis zu modernen CEOs und Milliardären: Alle Macht basiert auf Angst, Lügen und Gehorsam, doch die Unterdrückten könnten das System jederzeit zerschlagen, wenn sie aufhören zu knien und sich erheben.
English:
The song describes a furious accusation against the eternal submission of the masses to rulers – from pharaohs and emperors to modern CEOs and billionaires: All power rests on fear, lies and obedience, yet the oppressed could shatter the system at any moment if they stop kneeling and rise up.

Song Lyrics
×
Pharaohs… emperors… CEOs…
Same gods, different crowns.
We still kneel. Why the fuck do we still kneel?
Ancient Egypt, pharaoh called god, slaves died building his tomb
Millions broke their backs in the sand for one man’s eternal room
Rome’s emperors demanded worship, legions slaughtered in their name
Gladiators bled for entertainment, crowds screamed for more shame
Now skip ahead – private jets, billionaires, nuclear toys in hand
Tech got sharper, weapons deadlier, but we’re still under command
Nobody wants to starve in the streets, scraping by on their scraps
Nobody wants to die in their wars, bodies stacked in the traps
Why do we bow? Why do we bleed?
For the crumbs they throw, for the lies they feed?
Fear’s the chain nobody sees
Keeps the herd on its knees
Slaves to the throne!
Why don’t we rise? Why don’t we fight?
Nobody wants this hell, but we swallow the bite!
Slaves to the throne!
They pull the strings, we burn in their fire
Why let them win? Why fuel their empire?
Rise up – break free – or die on your knees!
Billions grind for the chosen few, suits sitting like modern kings
Markets climb on our broken bones while they hoard everything
Soldiers shipped to kill for profit, flags waving over lies
Why enlist? Why pull that trigger? For a wage that barely buys?
Nobody dreams of debt-slavery, bosses owning every breath
Nobody wants to be controlled, but we sign away our death
The masses could crush them tomorrow, one fist raised as one
But fear whispers “stay in line” – and the revolution’s done
How does fear work? It crawls inside your skull
Promises safety if you just stay dull
Divides us with hate, keeps us weak and small
While the elite watch and laugh at it all
Slaves to the throne!
Why don’t we rise? Why don’t we fight?
Nobody wants this hell, but we swallow the bite!
Slaves to the throne!
They pull the strings, we burn in their fire
Why let them win? Why fuel their empire?
Rise up – break free – or die on your knees!
Power’s just an illusion, built on our silence and sweat
They’re nothing without our obedience – nothing but parasites yet
Fear freezes the brave, turns courage to dust
But we’re the millions, they’re the few we can bust
Wake the fuck up – the throne is glass
One push and it shatters at last
Why soldiers?! Why wars?! Why the fuck obey?!
Nobody wants to die! Nobody wants the chains!
They hide in bunkers, we bleed in the dirt
Stand up! Unite! Make the whole system hurt!
Fear’s their weapon – but we’re the storm!
Break it! Smash it! Reform!
Slaves to the throne!
Why don’t we rise? Why don’t we fight?
Nobody wants this shit – set the night alight!
Slaves to the throne!
Their time is over, we’ll burn it higher
Rise up, motherfuckers – claim the fire!
Break free! Break free! Or forever be… slaves!
Why… why… why do we let them?
Rise… or rot… slaves to the throne…
Same gods, different crowns.
We still kneel. Why the fuck do we still kneel?
Ancient Egypt, pharaoh called god, slaves died building his tomb
Millions broke their backs in the sand for one man’s eternal room
Rome’s emperors demanded worship, legions slaughtered in their name
Gladiators bled for entertainment, crowds screamed for more shame
Now skip ahead – private jets, billionaires, nuclear toys in hand
Tech got sharper, weapons deadlier, but we’re still under command
Nobody wants to starve in the streets, scraping by on their scraps
Nobody wants to die in their wars, bodies stacked in the traps
Why do we bow? Why do we bleed?
For the crumbs they throw, for the lies they feed?
Fear’s the chain nobody sees
Keeps the herd on its knees
Slaves to the throne!
Why don’t we rise? Why don’t we fight?
Nobody wants this hell, but we swallow the bite!
Slaves to the throne!
They pull the strings, we burn in their fire
Why let them win? Why fuel their empire?
Rise up – break free – or die on your knees!
