Lyrics

Ooh, empires
Oh, empires
Empires, your help is on the way
In bonfires slash, circuit breaks and change
Empires, empires
No, you needn't worry, hey!
'Bout your empires
Empires
<span begin="40.975" end="45.172">You know that zero is one more than null</span> <span ttm:role="x-bg"><span begin="45.695" end="47.320">(But zero)</span></span>
<span begin="46.763" end="51.596">But a zero can't leave well-enough alone</span> <span ttm:role="x-bg"><span begin="51.835" end="55.644">(Alone)</span></span>
Oh, empires
Come and meet your new gods
Livewire and stick
Shock troops and foxes, stumble from the mist
Empires, empires
You should mind your trust
Of these empires
Empires
<span begin="1:21.797" end="1:26.213">You know that zero is one more than null</span> <span ttm:role="x-bg"><span begin="1:26.310" end="1:27.836">(But zero)</span></span>
But a zero can't leave well-enough alone
Who will come for you, oh no
<span begin="1:40.591" end="1:42.634">No, no</span> <span ttm:role="x-bg"><span begin="1:42.934" end="1:43.526">(No)</span></span>
Who can't hide from us, oh no
<span begin="1:50.809" end="1:53.006">No, no</span> <span ttm:role="x-bg"><span begin="1:53.118" end="1:53.715">(No)</span></span>
Pick your own avatars for graves
No, no
Ooh, empires
Come and meet your new gods
Livewire and stick
Shock troops and foxes stumble from the mist
It's about your empires
Empires
It's about your empires
Empires
It's about your empires
Empires
Ooh, empires
The fascist face of faith
Empires
Kiss the brutal fist of hate, hey!
Empires, empires
Who owns the black of the night
In your empires
Empires
