"Empire" lyrics

(Build on love and we’ll...)

I see your light
I know it’s coming and I’m terrified
No more defences here to hide behind
Oh, just you and I
And through the smoke
I see you burning like a ray of hope
I found the fire now the ashes glow
Oh, I come alive

And now that I’m awake
I’m not afraid
I’m letting go tonight

‘Cause we found strength in each others’ arms
We built this love and we made it our
Empire, empire, empire
And you and I can rule each others’ hearts
We’ll build on love and we’ll make it our
Empire, empire, empire

Stone by stone
We’ll build a tower we can call our own
So high that we’ll forget the world below
Oh, just you and I, I
So let the drums roll
The cannons blow
We’re letting go tonight

‘Cause we found strength in each others’ arms
We built this love and we made it our
Empire, empire, empire
And you and I can rule each others’ hearts
We’ll build on love and we’ll make it our
Empire, empire, empire

They’ll never take it down
Take it down
Burn it down
Burn us down
Take it down
Take down our empire
They’ll never take it down
Take it down
Burn it down
Burn us down
Take it down
Take down our empire

‘Cause we found strength in each others’ arms
We built this love and we made it our
Empire, empire, empire
And you and I can rule each others’ hearts
We’ll build on love and we’ll make it our
Empire, empire, empire

They’ll never take it down
Take it down
Burn it down
Burn us down
Take it down
Take down our empire
