We built a kingdom out of thunder
We wore the lightning like a crown
But every wall was made of whispers
And every throne was coming down You called it love
I called it war
You wanted heaven
Then opened the door
Now the smoke is rising
Over what we had
All your gold is dying
In an empire of ash
Let it fall Let it crash
All we were Is turning black
You can keep What cannot last I will rise From your empire
of ash
You wrote my name into your legend
Then crossed it out to save your pride But I was never
just a shadow
Standing pretty at your side I held the flame You held the
knife You took the crown I kept my life No mercy now
No turning back No crown survives An empire of ash
Let it fall
Let it crash
All we were Is turning black You can burn The broken past
I will rise From your empire of ash (ahhhh)
Empire
of ash (ahhhh) I will
rise
Empire
of ash
