EMPIRE - LYRICS

THEY DON’T WANT TO BE THERE
WHEN THE SKY BEGINS TO ROLL
WE WON’T BE DEFEATED
EVERY EMPIRE HAS TO FALL
LET’S BRING IT ALL DOWN
LET’S BRING IT ALL DOWN
WE FOLLOW THE ORDERS
OF MEN WHO LEAD BLIND
INTO THE GRAVE FROM THE CRADLE
THE SKIN OF TOMORROW
WILL NEVER BE MINE
UNDER THE HEEL OF A DEVIL
NO THERE WON’T BE A RESCUE
NOT EVEN A MARTYR CAN PAY FOR THE LIES
(NO THERE WON’T BE A RESCUE)
THEY DON’T WANT TO BE THERE
WHEN THE SKY BEGINS TO ROLL
WE WON’T BE DEFEATED
EVERY EMPIRE HAS TO FALL
LET’S BRING IT ALL DOWN
THEY FEED US THE POISON
CALL IT CHAMPAGNE
WE CARRY A THIRST LIKE AN OCEAN
THEY FASHION AFFLICTION
BUT KEEP THE VACCINE
SETTING A FEAR INTO MOTION
NO THERE WON’T BE A RESCUE
NOT EVEN A MARTYR CAN PAY FOR THE LIES
(NO THERE WON’T BE A RESCUE)
THEY DON’T WANT TO BE THERE
WHEN THE SKY BEGINS TO ROLL
WE WON’T BE DEFEATED
EVERY EMPIRE HAS TO FALL
LET’S BRING IT ALL DOWN
BRING IT ALL DOWN
WE’LL BRING IT ALL DOWN
COME ON BE RECKLESS WITH ME
I BEG YOU
COME ON BE RECKLESS WITH ME
I DARE YOU
(TO RUN WITH OPEN EYES)
DON’T ARGUE
(AND MAKE THE SACRIFICE)
THEY DON’T WANT TO BE THERE
WHEN THE SKY BEGINS TO ROLL
WE WON’T BE DEFEATED
EVERY EMPIRE HAS TO FALL
LETS BRING IT ALL DOWN
BRING IT ALL DOWN
WE’LL BRING IT ALL DOWN
BRING IT ALL DOWN
BRING IT ALL DOWN
BRING IT ALL DOWN
