[Verse] A crown of dust A throne of lies The sun sets red in the weeping skies Footsteps echo on the marble cold Shadows whisper Empires sold [Prechorus] Once we ruled the stars above Now we drown in what we loved [Chorus] This is the fall The fall of the empire Ashes rain down from the spire The walls we built crumble slow What we reap is all we sow [Verse 2] Flags torn down by the howling wind The ghosts of glory scratch our skin We traded gold for hollow fame Now we choke on the weight of blame [Prechorus] Once we soared with wings of fire Now we crash Broken by desire [Chorus] This is the fall The fall of the empire Ashes rain down from the spire The halls we walked now echo pain The fall of power The end of reign
