Rise As Legends - Our Fallen Empire Lyrics

Behold our time has come

Smoke colors the sky
Entwined with the bright embers
Of our dying passion
Intentions of benevolence
Corrupted and deprecated
At the hands of hypocrisy
Ashes of our kingdom rise
And Dissipate into the sky

The magnificent structures
Composed through years of progress
Crumble into ash and dust
Erasing our legacy
Imprisoned by our self image
Our hands drip with gasoline
With heads hung low in shame
Of our fallen empire

Shouts of blame fall on one another
Blind and lost in pride

Sightless we took the eyes of all those who stood against our virtue
Now as the towers burn will we ever learn will we ever change
Can we ever change

Behold the results
Of the world that we have made
A kingdom rooted in deceit
Built to fall perishing in flames
Despite warnings from prophets
Shedding light on what's to come
Departing the earth as Martyrs
Still we choose to die in vain

Shouts of blame fall on one another
Blind and lost in pride

Dying in vain
When will we change
Dying in vain
Bound by our hate

Grasping to remnants of our faulted ideals In desperation As it all turns to dust

Our mirror of infallibility
Has been Shattered and swept away

How far shall we fall before we see the error of our ways?

As you stand watching your empire
Burn before your eyes
Founded on reciprocated hatred

How far shall we fall before we see the error of our ways

Our mirror of infallibility has been shattered and swept away

As you stand watching your empire burn before your eyes
Founded on reciprocated hatred
Here you stand watching your empire burn before your eyes
Could we have been saved by absolution?
