Empires lyrics

We built our fortress out of gold just to watch it crumble beneath our fingers Hold the strings, but we are the marionettes I swore these walls would never change me, But the excess seeps underneath my skin I'm not the man i should have been These lustful streets intoxicate me, a paralyzing love negates my heart. Take your bow You tyrant, You've come too close To your end Take your place Among the dead And i'll see you there I'll see you Please pardon me i'm losing all my stature Cause your subtle voice my god breaks my bones and now i crash down, Humble me now. Humble me now We built our fortress out of gold just to watch it crumble beneath our fingers Lies the ash of those who opposed our progress Blessed is the one who saves me your edifying love inflates my heart. These flames ignite inside of me And from them we will be born again
