Empire Falls

empire  falls  -  primordial

  A  cold  wind  is  blowing

    Through  the  graves  it  is  blowing

  And  it  bares  a  poisoned  tongue

  And  the  foul  breath  of  deceit

    I  am  my  fathers  son

  And  his  deeds

    Cannot  be  undone...  be  undone

    You  trade  in  his  blood

  Writing  your  history

    In  the  sacrifices  of  the  dead

    Am  I  he?

    You  would  trade  every  truth

    For  hollow  victories

    Every  empire  will  fall

  Every  monument  crumble

  Forgotten  men  who  watch  the  centuries

    Whose  silent  words

  Rise  up  rise  up  in  betrayal

    We  will  rise  up  rise  up  in  betrayal

    Am  I  he?

    You  would  trade  every  truth

  For  hollow  victories

    Every  empire  falls

    And  the  earth  to  ashes  turn

  The  lands  of  my  birth

  Shall  be  my  tomb

  The  are  the  lands,  the  lands  of  my  birth

  And  when  the  sky  should  fall

  The  earth  to  ashes  turn

  be  ruins,  the  ruins  of  my  pastSoon  to  

  Then  you  know  they  shall  be  my  tomb

    I  am  he

    You  would  trade  every  truth

    For  hollow  victories
