Paroles
we were orphaned by the sound
of an entire generation
they were screaming at the top of their lungs
blind eyes to smoke and fire
hearts filled with fear and self preservation
burning their swords and shields and eating their young
oh but the more they fight
the more it all unravels
'cause all empires fall
we've been damned to the pyre
while you're incensed with indignation
savor the taste of blood you'll soon be wanting more
you sold our souls for gold and oil
and our futures for reputation
shake from your hair the spoils of pestilence and war
and when the wells run dry
and you're choking on your anger
all empires fall
we will sing hallelujah
as we're digging your grave
we'll lay to rest your righteous anger
and bury your name
all of your ancient rage is
slowly turning you numb
try although you might
you cannot change what's been done
'cause all empires fall
