Arch Enemy - Sunset Over The Empire Lyrics

Sunset Over the Empire Lyrics[Intro]
Welcome to the apocalypse, the end of days
Rulers of the wasteland, rejoice in the flames
Futures tumble, legacies crumble
Thousands of years and what have we learned?

[Verse 1]
They heard the warnings, ignored the signs
Wheels of injustice kept on turning
Unaccountable for their crimes
On the streets anger burning
[Chorus]
Black clouds rumble, dark days ahead
As the chorus chants for a holy war
“It’s the end of an era, a new dawn will rise”

[Verse 2]
Words turned to war, brother fighting brother
Another false truce, as the people die
The fate of the nation forever changed
Behold - the fiery end is nigh
Behind closed doors, corruption wins
The power echelon prepares their task
One step forward, two stabs in the back
Revolution is a mere change of masks?

[Chorus]
Black clouds rumble, dark days ahead
As the chorus chants for a holy war
“It’s the end of an era, a new dawn will rise”

[Bridge]
We rise again from the stench and the pain
We pass through fire, darkness erase the stain

[Instrumental Break]

Black clouds rumble, dark days ahead
As the chorus chants for a holy war
“It’s the end of an era, a new dawn will rise”
“It’s the end of an era, a new dawn”

[Outro]
As the sun sets on the empire
Is there a future to be found?
Hopes and dreams…now ashes on the ground
