Empire's Weight Lyrics


### Verse 1

Reality stands before your eyes

Defying all your fragile ties

A rolling force, no reason why

Crushing hope, it leaves you dry

### Verse 2

It eats your past, it kills your fate

Your dreams ‘ll die, there’s no scape

I drag you down into the deep

I swallow all the faith you keep

If any spark is left inside

I’ll turn it all to ashes

### Pre-Chorus

Now it’s every man alone to bleed

Chaos reigning, hunger, greed

I watch as honor disappears

Like in a holocaust of years

### Chorus

Even now my soul is bleeding

A dagger in my heart still seething

All the vows we made are broken

Tomorrow lies in words unspoken
