Lyrics
Empires
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Kneel and stare at the sun
Let the light burn your eyes
The beauty you once created
Now destroyed by the hands that built it
So lets build Rome in a single day
Then watch it burn to the fucking ground
Empires have fallen for you
But I will stand strong
I'll be your saviour
Cast your eyes beyond the horizon
This is where I stand and stare
You know where to find me now
Grey skies precede the black of night
I will find sleep in the end
The sands of time they slip away
In this place no one his master
Empires have fallen, empires have fallen,
empires have fallen for you
The weight of these final days
A burden my shoulders must bare
Lets build Rome in a single day
Then watch it burn to the fucking ground
