Empires Laid Waste

I can't prolong the inevitable anymore
 The hidden empire inside our hearts
 We built, we burnt, and we laid, we laid waste
 To every dream and we gave flight to this ending
 It's so hard to turn around
 Without even understanding the fall
 To break our wings, to burn our dreams
 I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, fear, and regret
 Set fire to the way we were and forget everything
 Set fire to the way we were and forget everything
 When every stone is turned
 When every stone is turned looking for an escape
 There's not too much left anyway
 There's only so far you can travel with stars in your eyes

 The hidden empire inside our hearts
 We built, we burnt, and we laid, we laid waste
 To every dream and we gave flight to this ending
 It's so hard to turn around
 Without even understanding the fall
 There's only so far you can travel with stars in your eyes
 Before you burn them out and lose sight
 Before you break down
 Before you break down and take it all in your stride
 A life lost, and the fall of an empire
