"Empire Falls" lyrics

Crows have called
On cemetery walls
One last march
As the empire falls
The game has been played
As life starts to fade
Taking what you can
It's famine once again

On our knees, we pray to myths for miracles
Poetic profit speaks the word
Buying power, selling lies
The key to heaven is the highest price

Blood lust
Death comes for all of us

From dust you're born and dust you will return
Whoa
From dust you're born and dust you will return
Whoa

As flags fly and colors bleed
Rotting flesh falls from beneath
The hands of time and war machine
Life respects no one

Blood lust
Death comes for all of us

From dust you're born and dust you will return
Whoa
From dust you're born and dust you will return
Whoa
From dust you're born and dust you will return
Whoa
From dust you're born and dust you will return

Crows have called
On cemetery walls
One last march
As the empire falls
The game has been played
As life starts to fade
Taking what you can
It's famine once again

Blood lust
Blood lust
Blood lust
Blood lust
Blood lust
Blood
