Empires Rise and Fall

[Verse] Shadows looming tall Empires rise and fall Whispers in the hall Echoes through it all [Verse 2] Kings and queens they fight In the dead of night Hearts filled with fright Chasing fading light [Chorus] Empires rise and fall Just like a midnight call We stand and watch it all Empires rise and fall [Verse 3] Rulers at the peak Power makes them weak In the end they seek Truth they cannot speak [Bridge] History repeats Upon ancient streets Victory and defeat Where all stories meet [Chorus] Empires rise and fall Just like a midnight call We stand and watch it all Empires rise and fall
