End of an Empire

At the edge of the hellfire

It's the end of an empire

In the line of the gunfire

It's the end of an empire

Again, again, again

It's the end of an empire

A start, an end, a rise and fall

No system eternal and no one immortal

Creation, all must end in destruction

We can not change the fate of civilization

Start, end

We build up the symbols of power

Rise, fall

Constructs of a mortal mind

Life span

Conquer in our brightest hour

Mortal

But then we all must fall in time

Through space and time

We can't escape this paradigm

At the edge of the hellfire

It's the end of an empire

In the line of the gunfire

It's the end of an empire

Again, again

It's the end of an empire

Time of

Kingdoms, each of us reigning

Dreams, death

Over the realms of our hearts and minds

Takes mine

Conscious that death is awaiting

Scene end

But even death will end in time

Through space and time

We can't escape this paradigm

At the edge of the hellfire

It's the end of an empire

In the line of the gunfire

It's the end of an empire

Again, again

It's the end of an empire

In the death of a desire

It's the end of an empire

At the close of a lifetime

It's the end of an empire

At the edge of the hellfire

It's the end of an empire

In the line of the gunfire

It's the end of an empire

Again, again, again, again

It's the end of an empire

Again

It's the end of an empire

We're falling into the unknown

Another beginning that's beginning to unfold

We're falling into the unknown

It's the end

Another beginning that's beginning to unfold

It's the end of an empire

We're falling into the unknown

It's the end

Another ending that's beginning to unfold

It's the end

We're falling into the unknown

It's the end

Another ending that's beginning to unfold

It's the end of an empire

It's the end of an empire
