Our Empire
hello, I see the sunset below me
the waves fold ad crash upon me
I drown in my happiness
am I finally home yet?
because they once spoke
the words that echoed
in the valleys and the hills
I speak of truth that kills
to my own family
we were the kings and queens
so tied up in our beleifs
what happened to the rope?
now there is treason
all those pathetic reasons
set fire to the lies
and the escapees
who were not me
have left us behind
for the first time
i felt i belonged
we have seen so much
and now it is gone
perhaps it blew like dust
or now it is free because
i loved you like family or more
but the creaking floors
told everyone else
but is it truly better than this
this is my eternal bliss
all the moments in the wind
i can taste it on my tounge
what i thought i had won
but the trophy is yours
as i feast upon the table
i have never felt so unable
so very empty
i believed that this was my path
everything that was in the past
had led to you
for the first time
i felt i belonged
we have seen so much
and now it is gone
perhaps it blew like dust
or now it is free because
you don't seem to be
as keen as me
upon our mighty kingdom
you are my best friends
I'd love you all till the end
but the universe doesn't agree
all those stars and stuff
i am just not enough
i wish you could stay...
but our empire is all gone
