[Intro Chorus: April O'Neill]
They wanna see the kingdom crash
They wanna see the kingdom crash
They wanna see the kingdom crash
But we'll be building empires
For life
But we'll be building empires
For life
But we'll be building empires
[Verse 1: Maurice Keith]
Man this my life
I'm grateful so I praise God times twice
Greatness
Sort of like God in light
For the I'll endure that sacrifice
To she I've lost gain strength and stripes
None to blame cause pain is life
In grace forevermore
You are Love to the highest heights
Survival
Lived off bread and rice
Beating preaching teach me right
No on could reach me
Jesus Christ
I've studied still no proof in sight
Tho proof of life is evident
To praise a mans not heaven sent
For we are all equal
Some evil some irrelevant
What's this
Is that his views on life
The really wanna know my views on Christ
My dad left me when I was born
He lives and I'm the sacrifice
Greatest story ever told
I live it like it's paradise
Here's a taste of royalty
Be grateful you could have a slice
[Chorus: April O'Neill]
They wanna see the kingdom crash
They wanna see the kingdom crash
They wanna see the kingdom crash
But we'll be building empires
For life
But we'll be building empires
For life
But we'll be building empires
[Verse 2: Maurice Keith]
I'm an architect
Creator of a sin not even God can forget
Designer of a Love that makes Lucifer repent
Now the goods gone bad and we back where we been
Again
I've once turned none's into men
These hands have formed yet a duplicate of him
A hybrid version with a little less skin
Their immune to the scars so their hearts won't bend
But than
These haters they forgot about Him
The One whose blood was embed in them
He needed them most and their lives would depend
Than they left His soul cold in the wind
Now it all has to end
Even Judas had a heart to commend
He gazed in my eyes as a kiss would descend
Exchanged for some change in a name called sin
We embraced now there conflict shun
So today they can say that I gave my life (we'll be)
And I lay it all down as a sacrifice (building)
So I spit it through these bars (empires, we be)
I'm a prisoner to laws (building)
Healing up these scars every Goddamned night (empires)
Told God hold off on the flashing lights (we'll be)
We'll get to the part where you make me right (building empires)
Cause my heart grew dark and cold as ice (we'll be)
But for now i'm at war with the Devil and his dogs (building empires)
And my souls gotta fight to make this right (for life)
[Exiting Chorus: April O'Neill]
For life (life) 30x
[Outro: April O'Neill]
Oh empire
After empire
The kingdom will never crash
