Empire Sundown

[Verse 1]

Look them in the eyes

When they push you off the raft

And make them watch you drown

[Verse 2]

They take everything

But they can't tell us how to defend ourselves

The tide is gonna turn

And when it does

And what can we do

When they come for all the ones we couldn't save

We owe them the empire's reddest sundown

And when it's dark our time will come

[Verse 3]

They, they don't care what they do to us, my friend

Our tears are wine to them

All we've ever been is grist for the mill that keeps turning

One day their stones will break

And watch when they do

(God have mercy)

And what will we do to remind them

That they can't live without us

They need us

It's their turn to try and shout back an unrelenting tide
