Empire (Let Them Sing)

(album: Sempiternal - 2013)

It's the start of the end
Surrender the throne
The blood on my hands covered the holes

We've been surrounded by vicious cycles
And we're truly alone
The scars on your heart are yours to atone
We've been surrounded
Let 'em sing, let 'em sing!

The deeper you dig, the darker it gets
There's nowhere else for us to go
We live what we learn, and then we forget
We'll never find our way back home

Come on!

They came like moths to a flame
You left like a house in a hurricane

(The wolves are at my door)

It's the start of the end
Surrender the throne
The blood on my hands covered the holes

We've been surrounded by vicious cycles
The end and we're truly alone
The scars on your heart are yours to atone
We've been surrounded
Let 'em sing, let 'em sing!

I hear them clawing at the gates
(Let us in, let us in)
I hear them calling out my name
(I don't care)

Let them sing, let them sing, let them sing
Let the bastards sing
Let them sing, let them sing
Let the bastards sing
Let them sing, let them sing
Let the bastards sing
Let the God-forsaken bastards sing

They came like moths to a flame
You left like a house in a hurricane

The wolves are at my door
But I can see the writing on the walls
The wolves are at my door
Waiting for my empire to fall

It's the start of the end
Surrender the throne
The blood on my hands covered the holes

We've been surrounded by vicious cycles
The end and we're truly alone
The scars on your heart are yours to atone
We've been surrounded
Let 'em sing, let 'em sing!
