Empire Lyrics

Better to struggle from afar
Than not to live at all
An ice pick for brains is a pain
To formulate the core
And leave no single trace at all
Requires a man
Who can build his promised land
An establishment
That can only kill the man, not his dream
That is invincible
Buried in Mexico

Achievement is no guarantee
Of a place in history
And what can you see in the dark
The empty book shelves filled with air
And photographs when you weren't there at all
But a memory could recall
An establishment
That could make the mighty fall
But the dream is invincible
Buried in Mexico

The winter season passes under
The river runs to lap the beaches inside
All barriers are put asunder
The wheel of fortune takes a turn to the right

No how and whys of wonder
Just a feeling that we've been here before
More blood and fire and guts and thunder
So catch a ride and live the journey once more
