The Empires Demise (Remastered)

[Verse] The banners flew in golden pride Oaths were sworn the seas complied Blazing swords the foes would rue A kingdom strong with skies so blue [Chorus] But crowns will crack and thrones will rot Empires fall though battles fought The blood it stained the frozen land The Swedish tide slips from the sand [Verse 2] From glory tall to winter’s grief The ice it cracked beneath belief Cannons thunder hopes misplaced A flag dissolved in chilling haste [Bridge] The forests wept the ravens cried As shadows deepened where kings once lied The Baltic sang of battles done Of fleeting empires and setting suns [Chorus] But crowns will crack and thrones will rot Empires fall though battles fought The blood it stained the frozen land The Swedish tide slips from the sand [Verse 3] The echoes ring where armies tread The ghosts of legions call the dead Once they rose in fire’s embrace Now they wander lost in time and space
