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
