Aftermath of our failure

No more word of a saviour

Do we have what it takes to live

And do we even

Do we even, even deserve, to be heard

To be the caretakers of earth

Can we soar, like before, hold my hand

Are we carrying the torch

Look all around, it's too late for our sorrow

Hold here and now, don't wait for tomorrow

The empire never dies

If we leave our egos behind

Yes, the empire never dies

Can we be what they need, will they follow

For the sake of ambition

We ignored premonition

We are bound to the fate that we reap

And that fate is bleak

Even in time, if we learned not to burn

If we can find, we believe in our own

Look all around, at the blaze ever higher

Save here and now, you can tame the fire

The empire never dies

If we leave our egos behind

Yes, the empire never dies

Can we be who they need, who they follow

Come to the light, we can be the ones to rise

If we leave the past behind

Yes, the empire never dies

I will be who they follow
