FALLEN EMPIRE

 

FALLEN EMPIRE

THERE MIGHT HAVE BEEN THINGS 

 

I NEVER SAW

 

SIGNS I COULDN'T SEE

 

NO ONE LEFT TO TELL ME

 

HOW EVERYTHING SHOULD BE

 

ALL I HAVE IS MEMORY

 

A CRUMBLING EMPIRE ALL AROUND ME

 

GROWING SO THAT I COULDN'T SEE

 

WHAT ONCE WAS

 

WAS NEVER GONNA BE

 

 

 

KNEW I HAD TO STEP AWAY

 

LOSE MYSELF ALONE

 

NO USE HANGING ON

 

COME SUNRISE I'LL BE GONE 

 

IN THE TIME IT TAKES

 

TO SAY GOODBYE

 

I'LL BE MILES DOWN THE ROAD

 

LOVE IS GONE

 

ONLY HOPES AND DREAMS REMAINED

 

 

 

DARK NIGHT DRIVING RAIN

 

THERE WAS NOTHING MORE THAT I COULD DO 

 

NOTHING I COULD OF CHANGED

 

LEFT SORROW BEHIND ME

 

AND THE LITTLE THINGS

 

THAT MEANT SO MUCH

 

A KIND WORD A SOFT TOUCH

 

A WARM PLACE TO LAND

 

I COULD USE IT SO MUCH

 

THE PLACE I STOOD SO LONG

 

NOW GONE TO GROUND

 

 

 

GIVE ME SOMETHING NEW TO FEEL

 

CAN'T GET THERE TOO SOON

 

START TO HEAL

 

FACE THE UNIVERSE

 

FIND MY STARS

 

STAKE OUT MY PLACE

 

TO START AGAIN

 

SOMETIMES YOU CAN'T SEE

 

WHERE AND IF TOMORROW LIES

 

THEN FINALLY YOU CAN SEE IT

 

WITH YOUR OWN EYES 

 

ALL YOU GAVE

 

CAME TO SOMETHING

 

WHAT YOU MADE 

 

STEP OUT FROM THE SHADE

 

LET ME SEE YOU IN THE SUN

 

WE'LL RISE TO START ANEW
