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
