Empire |
| Empire sits on the edge of a hill |
| Born out of a gypsum mine |
| Held at once 300 souls |
| And none of them were mine |
| Now they’re just ghosts in the streets |
| Wandering a land that sleeps |
| Once it was a lively place |
| Now just tumbleweeds |
| The houses they are silent |
| Quiet as thieves |
| Now they’re just ghosts in the streets |
| Wandering a land that sleeps |
| The miners callused hands |
| The women who planted seed on the land |
| Empire met its end |
| Once you’re gone you can’t go back |
| The locks they have all froze |
| The lid upon the coffin |
| Now it has been closed |
| Bv |
| Now they’re just ghosts in the streets |
| Wandering a land that sleeps |
| The men who built the Empire |
| Up from the ground |
| Missed the cracks in the foundation |
| One blow and it all falls down |
| The miners callused hands |
| The women who planted seed on the land |
| Empire met its end |
