End of an Empire

[Chorus]

At the edge of the hellfire

It's the end of an empire

In the line of the gunfire

It's the end of an empire

Again

Again

Again

It's the end of an empire

[Verse 1]

A start, an end, a rise and fall

No system eternal and no one immortal

Creation, all must end in destruction

We cannot change the fate of civilization

[Verse 2]

(Start... end) We build our symbols of power

(Rise... fall) Constructs of a mortal mind

(Life...span) Conquer in our brightest hour

(Mor...tal) But then we all must fall in time

[Pre-Chorus]

Through space and time

We can't escape this paradigm

[Chorus]

At the edge of the hellfire

It's the end of an empire

In the line of the gunfire

It's the end of an empire

Again

Again

It's the end of an empire

[Verse 3]

(Time... love) Kingdoms, each of us reigning

(Dreams... death) Over the realms of our hearts and minds

(Space... mind) Conscious that death is awaiting

(Scene... tech) But even death will end in time

[Pre-Chorus]

Through space and time

We can't escape this paradigm

[Chorus]

At the edge of the hellfire

It's the end of an empire

In the line of the gunfire

It's the end of an empire

Again

Again

It's the end of an empire

[Bridge]

In the death of a desire

It's the end of an empire

At the close of a lifetime

It's the end of an empire

[Final Chorus]

At the edge of the hellfire

It's the end of an empire

In the line of the gunfire

It's the end of an empire

Again

Again

Again

Again

It's the end of an empire

Again

It's the end of an empire

[Outro]

We're falling into the unknown

Another ending that's beginning to unfold

We're falling into the unknown (it's the end)

Another ending that's beginning to unfold (it's the end of an empire)

We're falling into the unknown (it's the end)

Another ending that's beginning to unfold (it's the end)

We're falling into the unknown (it's the end)

Another ending that's beginning to unfold (it's the end of an empire)

(It's the end of an empire)
