The Rising and Falling

from Empires by Wen Reagan

/

lyrics

Blood spilt is blood laid,
the foundation of an empire is made
domination is the restoration of
Glory days that come and go,
O, exploitation, burns a hole
in the soul of a kingdom raised
yet destined for the grave
Oh, can't you see? Oh, can't you see?
Empires rise and empires fall, but
I will remain,
I am the one who paid for all this pain
Life we trade for a profit made
solutions for the problems we make
When the truth is sold, sought is gold and
Glory days that come and go,
O, exploitation, burns a hole
in the soul of a kingdom raised
Oh, can't you see? Oh, can't you see?
Empires rise and empires fall, but
I will remain,
I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life
of the world

Broken, tattered, and torn
destitute and poor
broken, tattered, and torn
crowned with a crown of thorns
