Empire They built towers to touch the sky A kingdom made to never die They built it high and they built it wide Covered in gold, it's what they decide They stood atop their shining throne A realm of splendor, all their own But as the day turned to night Their world faded from our sight They rise up high, then crash to dust Empire's gone, all turned to rust They chase the sun, but darkness calls They rise up high, then watch it fall Oh, it's burning, can't deny Empire crumbles, reach the sky They rise up high, then crash to dust Empire's gone, nothing's left but us They held the keys to a bright new dawn Now the gates are closed and the light is gone They never thought they'd watch it fall Soon they’ll be left with nothing at all They rise up high, then crash to dust Empire's gone with broken trust They chase the sun, but darkness calls They rise up high, then watch it fall Oh, it's burning, can't deny Empire crumbles, reach the sky They rise up high, then crash to dust Empire's gone, nothing's left but us From the ruins rise, new dreams ignite In the darkest hours, there’s a spark of light Where the old gave way, the seeds are sown From fallen ashes, new strength is grown They rise up high, then crash to dust Empire's gone, all turned to rust They chase the sun, but darkness calls They rise up high, then watch it fall Oh, it's burning, can't deny Empire crumbles, reach the sky They rise up high, then crash to dust Empire's gone, nothing's left but us
