Your Empire Falls

Bend the knee, you cowards
While the ship just sank
One person you can thank

Walk the field of flowers
Filled with nameless graves
They could've all been saved

Don't tell me how this started
We've reached the end

You dig your grave as ordered
You claim it's worth it all
Straight off the cliff, march forward
Then wonder why your empire falls

Bend the knee, you cowards
Walk the fucking plank
One person you can thank

See the crumbling towers
A busy burning bank
Good thing that you were brave

Don't tell me how this started
We've reached the end

You dig your grave as ordered
You claim it's worth it all
Straight off the cliff, march forward
Then wonder why your empire falls

I'll go to hell, I'll stoke the flames
Engraving bullets with some names
I serve no throne, I have no shame
Don't play by rules of broken games

You dig your grave as ordered
You claim it's worth it all
Straight off the cliff, march forward
Then wonder why your empire falls

Your empire falls
