Lyrics

Empires build
Empire’s build and crumble
That’s what the books all say
There’s times of peace and fighting
And sirens that sound for change
Will you listen to the message
When there’s no food upon the shelves
When it’s too late to make a difference
Only when it affects yourself
Because it’s in the dry lake bed
It’s in the flooding rain
It’s in the hurricanes fury
Its in the stillness of the heatwave
Empire’s build and crumble
It comes down to a choice
And hiding from reality
Is like falling of the edge of the earth
Because it’s in the forests dying
It’s in the oceans heat
It’s screaming like a billboard
But you still drag your feet
Empire’s build and crumble
It’s a story long and true
And how we write the ending
Is down to me and you
Is down to me and you
