lyrics

My empire built on a string
Slighted by the slightest tear
My empire knows how to sing
But then the notes will come out
All twisted and foul
Maybe I shouldn’t care

My empire’s got industry
Keeping up amidst decay
My empire wants to be free
But It don’t wanna break down
Before it gets found
Or maybe I wouldn’t care

It’s not over
I play my silly songs
A light gone out in a pick up shed
It’s not over
I’ll tear through cities like a
Bull through a hall seeing all red

My empire keeps calling me
“You’ll never keep what you want”
My empire wants some relief
But then resistance comes out
Flinging their vows
Holding us with a stare

It’s not over
I’ve waited long enough to
Feel your reach covering all texts
It’s not over
Your roads may fall but I will
Lift you up keep you from rest

Easy now there’s a war going on
Empire thrives when empire runs
We are meant to release in time
(But I) will not die I
Will not let this go on

My empire rage like a king
Wounded by a traitorous HAIR
My empire just wants to sing
But then the notes will come out
Hazy and foul
Why do I even care?

It’s not over
I’ll keep us marching even
If I catch you struggling
It’s not over
You’re my prized possession I will
Not let up
No empire rest
