1. EMPIRES

Kneel and stare at the sun
Let the light burn your eyes
The beauty once created
Now destroyed by the hands that built it
Let's build Rome in a single day
Then watch it burn to the fucking ground
Empires have fallen for you
But I will stand strong

I'll be your saviour
Cast your eyes beyond the horizon
This is where I stand and stare
You know where to find me now

Grey skies precede the black of night
I will find sleep in the end
The sands of time, they slip away
In this place, no one his master

Empires have fallen, empires have fallen, empires have fallen for you
The weight of these final days
A burden my shoulders must bare
These final days
Shoulders must bare

Let's build Rome in a single day
Then watch it burn to the fucking ground


2. PAINT THE SKY

Without you I am lost
Your words a calm embrace
I gave up everything for the chance
And these scars are my reward
Tell me what it takes to be the man I want to be
Tell me the words to speak so I can do no wrong
The streets are calling to us
The expanse where I lay to rest
So close you see the whites of my eyes
What lies behind is yours

Your words ring in my ears
Your touch burns my skin
Let thoughts paint the sky
So I can feel my worth

Let your fears be winged
Take to flight to catch me
The land the ocean the distance
The beauty of creation lies ahead
Tear off your skin
To reveal fragile bones
That lie underneath
You're so easy to break

Your words ring in my ears
Your touch burns my skin
Let thoughts paint the sky
So I can feel my worth

As a spark to a scorched earth
One small flame leads to fires
"Make not dreams my master"
"Make not thoughts my aim"
"I have met with triumph and disaster"
"And treated them (just) the same"
"Bear to hear the truth I've spoken"
"Mine is the earth and everything within"

We were the fallen
We take to flight


3. WORLDS APARTS

I've seen this road many times before
The air heavy with the silence
Once welcome now changed in perception
Back in the clear light of day

I hope that you burn inside
Flames of guilt engulf you
This is what you wanted
Now you and I are worlds apart

So I can you tell you how it feels
When the world crushes your chest
It leaves you breathless
It leaves you all alone

You must place not your hope in false idols
My strength comes from within
A place that cannot be broken
This is all that I need

Burn in hell for all I care

I hope that you burn inside
Flames of guilt engulf you
This is what you wanted
Now you and I are worlds apart

This is what you wanted now we're worlds apart
