All Empires Fall

I know a man, he's a bit of a brat
Lies to his friends, says he know where it's at, yeah
I know a man, thinks he's running the world
Let's take him down, hold him down, we don't want him around here no more
All on his own but he don't give a damn
Three years later still playing the lamb
Yeah it's not the problem
It's the cause that's the problem
Just not enough to go around no it's never enough of it

All empires fall
All empires fall

Ya, I think it's time that we learned Chinese
Something's coming from the east can't you feel the breeze
People talkin' about the end of history
Don't they see it's just a cycle, just a cycle spinning around us again

Rome was strong 'till the bitter end
Plagued by attacks that she couldn't defend
She was stretched to thin like the skin on a drum
Getting pounding and pounded and pounded by the weight of the way it is

All empires fall
All empires fall
All empires fall

Why don't we take time to relax
Retreat to the facts
It's anything and everything from dust to dust
A set of eyes, hands, and ears
A collection of fears
Is this as good as it gets
Reigning on a stone after two million years?

All empires fall
All empires fall
All empires, they all fall
Hey!
