Empire falling


Is that the sound of an empire falling?

Fitting into your new jackboots
Off to work, your own worst enemy
Paint the streets black and blue
On your knees at the church of bigotry

Wear your pain like a new tattoo
They treat you rough, you treat 'em like royalty
It's like we don't ever think things through
Snatch defeat from the jaws of victory
And I get visions of my own kids

And it keeps me awake
When truth becomes the enemy
Awake
When no one is surrendering
And I can't feel anything
I can't feel

Round them up, beat them down
Sly winks been selling out stadiums
What's the point in reaching out
When all the love gets crushed by the medium?
And I get visions of my own kids

And it keeps me awake
When truth becomes the enemy
Awake
When no one is surrendering
And I can't feel anything
I'm my own worst enemy
I wish I could change everything
The truth is I'm just lying here awake
Awake

When did we get so bad telling bad from good?
When we settled for less than we know we should
When we're living a lie no one understands
When we hang on the words of a hollow man
When the poor fight the battles of the richest men
And the weak have to start watching out again

That's the sound of an empire falling
That's the sound of an empire falling
That's the sound of an empire falling

When did we get so bad telling bad from good?
When we settled for less than we know we should
When did we get so bad telling bad from good?
When we settled for less than we know we should

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
