Lyrics

Empires

Sky cities scrape the lining of heaven, beneath this vast region
Manifest destination, leaves us fast erasing.

Days pass, time flies, you don't realize, today you waste.

This dying youth of beauty and pleasure evaporates.

Lives are connected to lasting obsessions that become possessions of waste.

While buying the next new fashion that's fed to enslave this land of the free.

Days pass, time flies, you don't realize, today you waste.

Days pass, time flies, you don't realize, today you waste.

Don't be so surprised
Don't be so surprised
Don't be so surprised
Don't be so surprised
Don't be so surprised
Don't be so surprised
Don't be so surprised
Don't be so surprised

Days pass, time flies, you don't realize, today you waste.
