All Empires Lyrics by Coastal Town

The Times

2021

[Verse 1]
All empires crumble or slowly slip away
Cracks across the monuments each day
All empires stumble on the vice of other men
Sacrifices common when the stones are laid again
[Chorus]
When Tanis crumbles hear the call, let the ocean break your fall
From the parapets, declare that it's the day before the dawn
[Verse 2]
All empires relegate their faith to distant shores
Plunder from thе Orient replaces it in scorеs
All empires crumble into the sea
Rome, Greece, Babylon and Me
[Chorus]
When Tanis crumbles hear the call, let the ocean break your fall
From the parapets, declare that it's the day before the dawn
When wonders wash in to the sea, Colossus crumbles at the knee
Hanging gardens issue pardons from the Caliph to the Khan
[Bridge]
Look on my works you mighty
Look on my works and despair
Look on my works you mighty
Look on my works and despair
[Chorus]
When Tanis crumbles hear the call, let the ocean break your fall
From the parapets, declare that it's the day before the dawn
When wonders wash in to the sea, Colossus crumbles at the knee
Hanging gardens issue pardons from the Caliph to the Khan
Now that the last decree is signed, turn your head and you will find
Ruined archways bury parchment that the old republic's gone
Along the ancient colonnade, a new flag flies, the free parade
To the palace mount to clear the ground to build His kingdom on
[Outro]
Look on my works you mighty
Look on my works and despair
Look on my works you mighty, my works you mighty
