See them heading on to victory and die

To rise from the wreckage

Where have the prowlers gone they were leaving by night

All wasted and savage

They took 'em all away from the gutters to the grave

All silent and vicious

They make 'em feel the painthere was nobody save around

Only he with the power of the Cross

Empire, the empire's rising

By the hand of my mother I still walk and I see

Ruins all around me

As I hear canon's fire flames are burning higher

The empire's rising

And then I turn my head, I am almost dead, but no!

I'm a child of the ashes

I call for the attack there's no turning back and so

I trust in the power of the Cross

Empire, the empire's rising

By the hand of my mother I still walk and I see

Ruins all around me

As I hear canon's fire flames are burning higher

The empire's rising

Empire, the empire's rising

By the hand of my mother I still walk and I see

Ruins all around me

As I hear canon's fire flames are burning higher

The empire's rising
