Songtext von Empire Falls

Empire Falls the sun never sets, how soon we forget this classic story line through the rise and the fall, the greatest of walls all crumble and decline the rich lead the dumb, back to their slums to fight another day too sick and too tired, to question the liars content to be entertained though sworn to protect, we choose to neglect it's easier to look away and though men have died, we devalue their lives and what they fought to save the patriots who resist, penned on the blacklist dissenters denounced as cowards and if you appease, their most selfish needs the people concede their power the pendulum swings an empire falls history repeats we've learned nothing at all the pendulum swings an empire dies as the world moves on it's forgotten in time a policy sick a policy frail a policy fit for a king is a policy doomed to fail a policy white a policy black a policy that divides a policy cursed to collapse
