Empires Fall Songtext
von Sacred Oath

When the curtain falls and we see through Oz
Then the prince of darkness turns to gray
When the metal God goes to rust in peace
Then our way of life, it fades away

Empires fall, no king can save us all
By spitting lies and selling faith
Oh, empires fall, history says it all
And now we suffer through our fate

We were power slaves in a dynasty
Held fast by the fist of rebellion
But in Metallica, the first cracks appeared
And we wondered who it was that we believed in

Empires fall, no king can save us all
By spitting lies and selling faith
Oh, empires fall, history says it all
And now we suffer through our fate


We bought into a dream, we gave our souls
Built every temple, went to every show
Not even ancient Greece had gods like ours
That sang us battle hymns for hours and hours
We worshipped each of them and brought them tithes
For all the meaning that they gave our lives
We had a brotherhood that spanned across nations
We were religious in our dedication

Now it′s all gone
It's all gone
It′s all gone
It's all gone

Empires fall, no king can save us all
By spitting lies and selling faith
Oh, empires fall, history says it all
And now we suffer through our fate

Empires fall
Empires fall
Empires fall
Empires fall
