Ella Henderson - Empire lyrics

They don't laugh ever I see your lie I know it's coming and I'm terrified No more defences here to hide behind Oh, just you and I And through the smoke, I see you're burning like a ray of hope I found the fire and now the ashes glow Oh, come alive And now that I'm awake I'm not afraid, I'm letting go tonight Cause we found strength And enjoyed the songs We built this life and we made it up Empire, empire, empire And you and I, they will enjoy these cards We'll build on life and we'll make it up Empire, empire, empire Stone by stone, we build this hour we call our own So high the world forget the world below Oh, just you and I, high So let the drums roll The cannons blow, we're letting go tonight Cause we found strength And enjoyed the songs We built this life and we made it up Empire, empire, empire And you and I, they will enjoy these cards We'll build on life and we'll make it up Empire, empire, empire They'll never take it down, take it down Burn it down, burn us down Take it down, take down our empire They'll never take it down, take it down Burn it down, burn us down Take it down, take down our empire Cause we found strength And enjoyed the songs We built this life and we made it up Empire, empire, empire And you and I, they will enjoy these cards We'll build on life and we'll make it up Empire, empire, empire They'll never take it down, take it down Burn it down, burn us down Take it down, take down our empire
