Empire

All change
Arriving at the end again
As the sun sets on an empire soil
Let a thousand roses grow

Like a bride and groom
We walked beneath a hollow moon
With all the secrets of the world in our pockets
And nothing to do
While it drifted away beneath you

Show me the way to keep your heart
Get on the road to find out
Show me the way to keep your heart
Show me the way to keep

While the seagulls fly
Rolling shadows through the evening sky
She told me stories of a place I’d forgotten
An echo in time
Have you woken the dogs again tonight?

Show me the way to keep your heart
I’m on the road to find out
Show me the way to keep your heart
Show me the way to break the chain

Coming out of the forest
See the wood follow the path
Through the snow and fooling the sentries
Run far but not too far to go
Can't you see I'm changing baby?
Can't you see a rose in bloom?
I'm so alive
So alive

There was something I lost
There was something new
It was never the same

Can't you see that I'm changing?
One step over the line
Follow the thief or the stranger
Double down this time

Can’t you see that I’m changing ?
Making a new kind of life
Can’t you see what I lost?
Can’t you see what I’m building?
Can’t you see that I’m changing?
