End of an Empire

[Chorus] 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 [Verse 1] A start, an end, a rise and fall No system eternal and no one immortal Creation, all must end in destruction We cannot change the fate of civilization [Verse 2] (Start... end) We build our symbols of power (Rise... fall) Constructs of a mortal mind (Life...span) Conquer in our brightest hour (Mor...tal) But then we all must fall in time [Pre-Chorus] Through space and time We can't escape this paradigm [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] (Time... love) Kingdoms, each of us reigning (Dreams... death) Over the realms of our hearts and minds (Space... mind) Conscious that death is awaiting (Scene... tech) But even death will end in time [Pre-Chorus] Through space and time We can't escape this paradigm [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] 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 [Final Chorus] 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 [Outro] We're falling into the unknown Another ending that's beginning to unfold We're falling into the unknown (it's the end) Another ending 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)
