Like a city overthrown,
We're turning buildings into stone,
We leave the bodies to the crows,
On a funeral of fire.
Now we're choking on the fumes,
Spread the lie and kill the truth,
They're in the ashes of the proof,
We watch the flames rise higher.
Our empire,
Is on fire.
Our empire,
Is on fire.
Our empire's on fire.
Our empire is on fire.
Now we're falling through the ice,
We made our bed and rolled the dice,
Well every gamble has a price.
We watched the cracks grow wider.
Waves are climbing past your knees,
It's just the coming of the seas,
It's getting harder now to breathe.
We watched the tides rise higher.
Our empire,
Is on fire.
Our empire,
Is on fire.
Our empire's on fire.
Our empire is on fire.
I said I know you know we feel it in our bones,
I said I know you know we feel it in our bones,
I said I know you know we feel it in our bones,
I said I know, woah oh oh!
I said I know you know we feel it in our bones,
I said I know you know we feel it in our bones,
I said I know you know we feel it in our bones,
I said I know, woah oh oh!
Our empire,
Is on fire.
Our empire,
Is on fire.
Our empire's on fire.
Our empire is on fire.
