"Empire Down" lyrics

"Empire Down"

We are the spirit of the radio
Resonant frequency between you and the heart of me
Everybody's got one thousand new ways to die, this body's not a cage
So baby, let's get high
Everything is all right
Can't listen to the noise
You got the trouble, and baby, want to be adored
Heavy metal weekend
Never coming home again
Never needed anything more than just a little more

Livin' like we knew it all
Livin' like we had a chance
Livin' like the world owes us something more than what we got
We had it all
We dressed the part
We walked the line to get it
We are the orphans of a revolution song

You're never coming back for reasons that you will not say
I am the artist at the end of the line about to hang
We're going nowhere
We come from nothing
We took an empire down and built it up again
We killed the underground
And sold it to the world
Never needed anything more than just a beating heart

Livin' like we knew it all
Livin' like we had a chance
Livin' like the world owes us something more than what we got
We had it all
We dressed the part
We walked the line to get it
We are the orphans of a revolution

Single file
Walk the line
Off the edge
One by one
Single file
Walk the line
Off the edge
One by one

I don't want to know where I'm about to go
Don't want to see into the future
I don't want to hope, don't wanna pray, don't wanna lean on you to get me by
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

Livin' like we knew it all
Livin' like we had a chance
Livin' like the world owes us something more than what we got
We had at all
We dressed the part
We walked the line to get it
We are the orphans of a revolution

Single file
Walk the line
Knock 'em down
Off the edge
One by one
Single file
Walk the line
Knock 'em down
Off the edge
One by one
Walk the line
