[Verse 1]
A notion cold as the night air
Falls within my head
Spreads like ink right through my veins
All of our kings are dead
I am not a scholar and I don't believe in fate
Surely as I share your blood, will I end up the same?

[Pre-Chorus]
If there's one thing that I've learned
In my short time on this earth
Devotion should be owed not earned
And you determine what you're worth

[Chorus]
We are set free
We are the sons of apathy
Though it's not right, it's all we know
And there's no one left to follow

[Verse 2]
We are the heirs to empty thrones
And promises unkept
We sit and watch the empire burn
With mild disinterest
But we are not forsaken
We have a gift worth more than gold
We've been shown how not to live
By gracious kings of old
[Pre-Chorus]
If there's one thing that I've learned
In my short time on this earth
Devotion should be owed not earned
And you determine what you're worth

[Chorus]
We are set free
We are the sons of apathy
Though it's not right, it's all we know
And there's no one left to follow

[Bridge]
My father was an oak
The earth moved when he spoke
My father conquered seas
But was not there for me
[x3]

[Chorus]
We are set free
We are the sons of apathy
Though it's not right, it's all we know
And there's no one left to follow
