Empire Lyrics by Between Kings

The Escape

2018

[Verse 1]
You raise an empire to see it fall
And build new bridges to burn them all
What makes you better leaves you worse
To bear the weight of this curse
A king with no crown I scream aloud
Hoping one day I'll make you proud
When this all comes to an end
We'll look and laugh at the past, my friend
[Pre Chorus]
And I can see things clear now
[Chorus]
(Oh) Yeah, we'll never stop until we're dead
(Oh) Yeah, these scars I've earned I wear with no regret
(Oh) Yeah, your wasted words have turned me deaf
(Oh) Yeah, this empire will be all that we have left
[Verse 3]
When our loved ones are made of dreams
The hope we give belongs to thieves
Stand up tall and hope to thrive
As the devil says "enjoy the ride"
Take a deep breath and disappear
Once you've been heard, it all comes clear
Heal broken bones and break this cast
Build a future, make it last
[Pre Chorus]
And I can see things clear now
[Chorus]
(Oh) Yeah, we'll never stop until we’re dead
(Oh) Yeah, these scars I've earned I wear with no regret
(Oh) Yeah, your wasted words have turned me deaf
(Oh) Yeah, this empire will be all that we have left
[Bridge]
This is who I'm supposed to be
Even if I have to crawl
This is how it's meant to be
I will be there for it all
This is who I'm supposed to be
Even if I have to crawl
This is how it's meant to be
I will be there for it all
[Chorus]
(Oh) Yeah, we'll never stop until we're dead
(Oh) Yeah, these scars I've earned I wear with no regret
(Oh) Yeah, your wasted words have turned me deaf
(Oh) Yeah, this empire will be all that we have left
