Watching as they burn! Fighting wars for nothing! When will we learn? [Chorus] That everything we sacrifice Turns to ash and bone But love is standing right outside Waiting for us to let go To let it all go! [Verse] Blood against blood we rage Through storms of hate and lies While wisdom slips away We build our thrones to die [Pre-Chorus] We build our empires! Watching as they burn! Fighting wars for nothing! When will we learn? [Chorus] That everything we sacrifice Turns to ash and bone But love is standing right outside Waiting for us to let go To let it all go! [Bridge] What if the strength we chase Is found in letting go? What if our emptiness Is where we finally grow? [Instrumental Interlude] [Final Chorus] We build our empires! Watching as they fall! Fighting wars for nothing! Losing it all! But everything we sacrifice Was already gone And love is standing right outside Waiting for us to let go To finally live! [Instrumental Outro] Kingdoms fall... Love remains... When we fall... Love remains...
