Heres to the fallen empire, and all the treasure there
Heres to the fallen empire, and I just dont care
A toast to the mighty buildings
That cluttered up the sky
And Ill drink to all those fine, brave lads
Who gave it their best try
The armies came on charging
But the battle lasted a day
By dawn the conquest halted there
And a handful rode away
So heres to the fallen empire, and all the treasure there
Heres to the fallen empire, and I just dont care
With the general dead and buried
The corporal of resource
Rallied up the small remains
Of once-undefeated force
Their final charge came quickly
Their horses seemed to fly
Each man knew an age had ended
Each man knew hed die
So heres to the fallen empire, and all the treasure there
Hip hip hooray for the fallen empire, and I just dont care
The defenders made quick work of them
And the war was finally won
An eras culture grew no more
And a new era begun
The defenders, now the conquerors
Grow docile with desire
Their expansion surely justified now
All hail the new empire
So heres to the fallen empire, and all the treasure there
Heres to the fallen empire, and I just cant seem to care
You know, that was many empires ago
Many since have rose and fell
Many more shall rise under God and heaven
And ride off into hell
Their children have our faces
Their children were among
And as I too dream, my turn draws near
Because I am that young
So heres to the fallen empire, and all the treasure there
Heres to the fallen empire, and I really dont care
I can hear it call to me
Like a wolf howls to the moon
You know, now there is no life up there
Well colonize it soon
So heres to our falling empire
And all thats fine and fair
Come ride with me for an emperors crown
Im young and I just dont care
So heres to the fallen empire, and all the trouble there
Heres to the fallen empire, Im a young man and I just dont care
