I can't prolong the inevitable
The hidden empire inside our hearts
We build, we burnt
We laid to waste to every dream
And gave flight to this ending
It's so hard to turn around
Without even understanding the fall
To break our wings, to burn our dreams
Set fire to the way we were, forget everything
When every stone is turned looking for an escape
There's not too much left anyway
But I suppose there's only so far you can travel
With the stars in your eyes
Before you burn them out and lose sight
Before you break down
Before you break down and take it all in your stride
Life lost in the fall of an empire
