I can't prolong the inevitable The hidden empire inside our hearts We build, we burnt We laid to waste to every dream And gave flight to this ending
It's so hard to turn around Without even understanding the fall To break our wings, to burn our dreams Set fire to the way we were, forget everything
When every stone is turned looking for an escape There's not too much left anyway But I suppose there's only so far you can travel With the stars in your eyes
Before you burn them out and lose sight Before you break down Before you break down and take it all in your stride Life lost in the fall of an empire
