Empire

Just following orders A body lies on the quiet street They say the sun never sets On this empire's beach Between you and me Did you think you'd ever see An empire start to crumble And fall into the sea? Hang them with their lifeline Fade to black exit screen Sleeping corpses on the shoreline As the empire falls Falls into the sea Once stood a nation proud and tall Killed by its own arrogance, we hate them all The dreamer's wake, truth hits so hard The empire falls like a house of cards 'Cause it's over, it's over, it's over Yes, it's over Yes, it's over The shimmer starts to rust A flag burns to dust The sun never sets The sun never sets on us Here stands a nation, built on blood and bone Haunted by our heritage like ghosts in our home The killer's wake, bury crimes down deep I spit on their graves 'cause I won't weep Between you and me We suffer for their dreams We watch their empire crumble Leader's fall down to their knees You're my lifeline Something real I can see We toast the sinking ashes As the empire falls Falls into the sea 'Cause it's over 'Cause it's over 'Cause it's over 'Cause it's over 'Cause it's over The sun never sets The sun never sets on us The sun never sets The sun never sets on us
