[Intro]
Woah, woah, woah
Woah, woah, woah
Woah, woah, woah
Woah, woah, woah, woah
[Verse 1]
Arise again
Stepping out into the fray
At the end of ends
Searching the dark for the way
Ash to ashes, hope and fear
Rise and fall against the mutineers
Dreams, like flashes, disappear
Vaporize into the atmosphere
[Chorus]
How can the world be saved?
They fight to feed these flames
We'll set the past on fire
And rise from the ashes higher
We are empire
[Post-Chorus]
Woah, woah, woah
We are empire
Woah, woah, woah
(We are empire)
[Verse 2]
Look at what we've done
Everyone's a gun
Got everybody looking like a target
Go and take your aim
Find someone to blame
Funny how you don't know you're the mark yet
[Pre-Chorus]
Far away
Give it all to me
We are not afraid
This is our destiny
[Chorus]
How can the world be saved?
They fight to feed these flames
We'll set the past on fire
And rise from the ashes higher
We are empire
[Post-Chorus]
Woah, woah, woah
We are empire
Woah, woah, woah
[Bridge]
When all the love is dead and all the light is spent
And it's all cast away and it's all jettisoned
I will be there, the rise after the fall
The plans of mice and men have gone to dust again
Into oblivion, into the end of ends
We will be there to rise after it all
(Empire)
[Breakdown]
One by one, back to Endfield
One by one, over all
We were never born to kneel
One by one, over it all
At the beginning
Back at the end
At the beginning
Back at the end
[Chorus]
How can the world be saved?
They fight to feed these flames
How can the world be saved?
They fight to feed these flames
We'll set the past on fire
And rise from the ashes higher
We are empire
[Outro]
Woah, woah, woah
We are empire
Woah, woah, woah, woah
