End of an Empire

The time is here

Time to be brave, while others fear

Fear the stars, the moon and the Holy Ghost

It's what lurks in the dark that scares us the mostYou're damned if you do, you're damned if you don't

What tomorrow brings is still the unknown

But can you condone? How to atone?I'm so alone

How can I know I won't bemoan?

Every tale, needs it's star and knave

Which part I play is yet to be unveiledHistory: just what's agreed

Yet it will judge both you and me

Shield and swords, will win you wars

But in the end, the battle's for our hearts

Fought by bardsYou look back in time

No-one heard the bells chime

You wonder how

How could they this allow?Exactly the same

Are the questions aimed your way

When looking back on todayThe time is here

Time to be brave, let others fear

We know the walls will fall

But out of the ashes a new day will dawnWe've enslaved the world

We have slaughtered, we've burned

All, in the name of our faithOnly a fool would except

Others to settle for anything less

The tide is about to turnThe sea has pulled away

Like small children we play

What is this?

Come take a look at all these fish!As long as you spend

There is more for you to lend

Someone always saves us in the endThe time is here

Time to be brave, let others fear

We know the walls will fall

But out of the ashes a new day will dawnWe've enslaved the world

We have slaughtered, we've burned

All, while knowing what is bestMight take a year or ten,

Generations of men,

We've passed the point of no returnFifty-three days in fifty-three

Fifty-three steps for you to acknowledge your defeatThe last in line: Ultimus Romanorum

Evolution through revolution

A frozen river, enough to tip an empireStalingrad, Waterloo, Bastille, Poltava, Stamford Bridge,

At Manzikert  it all would end.Tough are times ahead

With care you tread

Before you know

Out we need to bowEnjoy it while it lasts

Soon forgotten in the past

Our time here ended so fastOpen your eyes

Yourself apprise

All empires find their demise

The taller they are, the harder they fall

The snowball

Is on the rollOpen your eyes

Yourself apprise

New powers are on the rise

So strong is our faith, (in that) the world stays as is

Until it hits, like shattering glass to bitsHow did this happen? How could this happen?

How could the empire fall?
