Empire Lyrics

I’m in the empire business
Built this from nothing with my own two hands
There is no measure of pain
Nothing can stand in my way and you will pay

Mark my words
Vengeance will find you soon
What it’s worth
Your time is overdue
We’re done when I say we’re done
We’re done when I say

These weathered hands are jaded
The cracks in the palms tell stories of blood
Sleeping with one eye open tonight
I’ll haunt your dreams

Heroes don’t exist anymore
Only cowards who shudder behind a broken sword
My reign is built upon hypocrisy and all my casualties
The kingdom beckons me

White picket fences defending the Dream
With grasses so green; priceless diamond rings
There’s blood on your knees but no one can see
What’s underneath
Mark my words
Vengeance will find you and you will pay

I’m in the empire business
Built this from nothing with my own two hands
There is no measure of pain
Nothing can stand in my way and you will pay
