Children of the Empire

Looking like some clear skies have finally opened up my eyes

Livin' in a lost time

The dawning of a brand new man

So much blood on our hands

King and queen of being lonely

Children of the empire see that we're all lost

There comes a cost walking in the labyrinth without love

How much can you take?

And when are you gonna be okay?

Gain control of what we made

Instead of being afraid

Children of the empire say

"We're long gone

In that eternal flame

Trying to break away

From the mess we made

Oh, we don't have time anymore to be afraid"

We tend to live long, that's why so many things go wrong

People selling the young blood

I guess that's the price you pay

Make desire, but no one wins, oh

Won't the fire burn us in

Before we get a chance to love again?

Children understand that they pay for their sins

Seize control of what they made

Before we all fade away

Children of the empire wanna change

'Cause we're long gone

In that eternal flame

Trying to break away

From the mess we made

Oh, we don't have time anymore to be afraid, anymore

Children of the empire know

Know that they're not free, even though

They wanna be free

We know we're not free, even though

We wanna be free
