Like a city overthrown We're turning buildings into stones We leave the bodies to the crows On a funeral fire Now we're choking on the fumes Spread the lie and kill the truth There in the ashes of the proof We watch the flames rise higher Our empire is on fire Our empire is on fire Our empire is on fire Our empire is on fire Now we're falling through the ice We made our bed and rolled the dice Well every gamble has a price We watch the cracks grow wider Waves coming past your knees It's just the coming of the seas It's getting harder now to breathe We watch the tides rise higher Our empire is on fire Our empire is on fire Our empire is on fire I said I know you know we feel it in our bones I said I know you know we feel it in our bones I said I know you know we feel it in our bones I said I know you know we feel it in our bones Our empire is on fire Our empire is on fire Our empire's on fire Our empire's on fire
