this is a song for everybody who has quit the struggle and who's feeling powerless
in the face of the mighty dollar, growing global players, dictators and the tabloid press
well let me tell you that there's still hope for a brighter future when you look at history
because there is a deadly threat to all the rising empires in politics and economy
time will slay 'em all
they'll fall
they'll fall
time will slay 'em all
they'll fall
they'll fall
no matter if evil or good
every single empire and its leaders are bound to drown
in the floods of changing times their days are yet numbered
'cause what goes up must come down
they all have the same fate
doomed by a sell-by date
'cause Romans, Greeks and the Egyptians
never thought of decline
so rulers of the world beware
time will slay 'em all
they'll fall
they'll fall
time will slay 'em all
they'll fall
they'll fall
they all have the same fate
doomed by a sell-by date
regimes will never be secure but they can be sure that they are not here to last
listen to the call
you'll fall
you'll fall
time will slay 'em all
they'll fall
they'll fall
