Empires Laid To Waste - The Amity Affliction

I can’t prolong the inevitable anymore…

The hidden empire inside our hearts

We built, we burnt, and we laid… we laid waste

To every dream and we gave flight to this ending

It’s so hard to turn around

Without even understanding the fall…

To break our wings, to burn our dreams

I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, fear, and regret!

Set fire to the way we were and forget everything

Set fire to the way we were and forget everything

When every stone is turned

When every stone is turned looking for an escape

There’s not too much left anyway

There’s only so far you can travel with stars in your eyes

The hidden empire inside our hearts

We built, we burnt, and we laid… we laid waste

To every dream and we gave flight to this ending

It’s so hard to turn around

Without even understanding the fall…

There’s only so far you can travel with stars in your eyes

Before you burn them out and lose sight

Before you break down

Before you break down and take it all in your stride

A life lost, and the fall of an empire
