lyrics

Empires Rise

My fallen king, my everything,
What happened to our dream?
I once believed I’d be your queen
At the end of all things

Though our love was still alive
Buried under alibis
Darkness came into our life
Stole away the light… in your eyes

Empires rise
We built them tall
Higher highs
Higher walls
Our kingdom was a paradise
We seemed to have it all
In the end it’s not your fault
Empires rise
Empires fall

Our desperate quests for happiness
Existing in extremes
To separate ends with separate friends
Enlisting in our dreams

The slow collapse of passing time
Showed the cracks were growing wide
While we grasped for the divine
Despite the warning signs… in our eyes

Empires rise
We built them tall
Higher highs
Higher walls
Our kingdom was a paradise
We seemed to have it all
In the end it’s not our fault
Empires rise

It was a lonely throne, a lonely throne,
A lonely throne that you held
And I’m the one, oh I’m the one,
I’m the one who failed

Empires rise
Empires rise
Our kingdom is in ruins
But our legacy lives on
In the end it’s not all gone
Empires rise
