"Empires Fall" lyrics

"Empires Fall"

This is not a new frontier
Foolish leaders will always disappear
They'll be laughing all the way
From the top of the mountain to the grave
Stuck in the ground while the truth escapes

The castle walls will crumble
A legacy sinking under
The castle walls will crumble

All empires fall
When they think they know it all
They're wise in their own eyes
Deaf to all advice
Down on their knees
One final plea
Rinse and repeat
All empires fall
When they think they know it all
All empires fall
(All empires fall)

Their demise is just a matter of time
Power subsides and fluency climbs
No need for revolution
Their arrogance is the solution

The castle walls will crumble
A legacy sinking under
The castle walls will crumble

All empires fall
When they think they know it all
They're wise in their own eyes
Deaf to all advice
Down on their knees
One final plea
Rinse and repeat
All empires fall
When they think they know it all
All empires fall

All empires fall
When they think they know it all
They're wise in their own eyes
Deaf to all advice
Down on their knees
One final plea
Rinse and repeat
All empires fall
When they think they know it all
All empires fall
All empires fall
(All empires fall)
