Empire Falls

A cold wind is blowing

Through the graves it is blowing

And it bares a poisoned tongue

And the foul breath of deceit

And I am my Fathers Son

And his deeds

Cannot be undone, be undone

And you trade in his blood

Writing your history

In the sacrifices of the dead

Where is the fighting man?

Am I he?

You would trade every truth

For hollow victories

For hollow victories

And every empire will fall

Every monument crumble

Forgotten men who watch, who watch the centuries

Whose silent words rise up

Rise up in betrayal

And we will rise up

Rise up in betrayal

Where is the fighting man?

Am I he?

You would trade every truth

For hollow victories

For hollow victories

Every empire falls

And the Earth to ashes turn

The lands of my birth

Shall be my tomb

And these are the lands, the lands of my birth

Soon to be ruins, ruins of my past

And when the sky should fall

The Earth to ashes turn

Then you will know they shall be my tomb

Where is the fighting man?

I am he!

You would trade every truth

For hollow victories

For hollow victories
