"The Empire" lyrics

Aftermath of our failure
No more word of a saviour
Do we have what it takes to live
And do we even

Do we even, even deserve, to be heard
To be the caretakers of earth
Can we soar, like before, hold my hand
Are we carrying the torch

Look all around
It's too late for our sorrow
Hold here and now
Don't wait for tomorrow

The empire never dies
If we leave our egos behind
Yes, the empire never dies
Can we be what they need, will they follow

For the sake of ambition
We ignored premonition
We are bound to the fate that we reap
And that fate is bleak

Even in time
If we learned not to burn
If we can find
We believe in our own

Look all around
At the blaze ever higher
Save here and now
You can tame the fire

The empire never dies
If we leave our egos behind
Yes, the empire never dies
Can we be who they need, who they follow

Come to the light, we can be the ones to rise
If we leave the past behind
Yes, the empire never dies
I will be who they follow
