[Chorus]
They don't want to be there
When the sky begins to roll
We won't be defeated
Every empire has to fall
Let's bring it all down
Let's bring it all down
[Verse 1]
We follow the orders
Of men who lead blind
Into the grave from the cradle
The skin of tomorrow
Will never be mine
Under the heel of a devil
[Pre-Chorus]
No there won't be a rescue
Not even a martyr can pay for the lies
(No there won't be a rescue)
[Chorus]
They don't want to be there
When the sky begins to roll
We won't be defeated
Every empire has to fall
Let's bring it all down
[Verse 2]
They feed us the poison
Call it champagne
We carry a thirst like an ocean
They fashion affliction
But keep the vaccine
Setting a fear into motion
[Pre-Chorus]
No there won't be a rescue
Not even a martyr can pay for the lies
(No there won't be a rescue)
[Chorus]
They don't want to be there
When the sky begins to roll
We won't be defeated
Every empire has to fall
Let's bring it all down
Bring it all down
We'll bring it all down
[Bridge]
Come on be reckless with me
I beg you
Come on be reckless with me
I dare you
(To run with open eyes)
Don't argue
(And make the sacrifice)
[Chorus]
They don't want to be there
When the sky begins to roll
We won't be defeated
Every empire has to fall
Lets bring it all down
Bring it all down
We'll bring it all down
Bring it all down
Bring it all down
Bring it all down
Empire was written by Birds of Tokyo.
Empire was produced by David Bottrill.
Birds of Tokyo released Empire on Mon Oct 31 2016.
We felt it was the right time to start talking about heavier things in our work which are important to us as a matter of daily discourse and we really hope you find something in this.
