Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Build our love and we'll

[Verse 2]

See your light

I know who's comin' in

I'm terrified

No more defenses here to hide behind

Oh, just you and I

[Verse 3]

And through the smoke

I see you burning like a ray of hope

I found the fire

Now the ashes glow

Oh, come alive

[Verse 4]

And know that I'm awake

I'm not afraid

Of letting go

Tonight

[Verse 5]

'Cause we found strength

In each other's arms

We built this love

And we made it our

Empire

Empire

Empire

[Verse 6]

And you and I

Could rule each other's hearts

We'll build our love

And we'll make it our

Empire

Empire

Empire

[Verse 7]

Stone by stone

We'll build a tower

We can call our own

So high that we'll forget

The world below

Oh, just you and I, I

[Verse 8]

So let the drums roll

The cannons blow

We're letting go

Tonight

[Verse 9]

'Cause we found strength

In each other's arms

We built this love

And we made it our

Empire

Empire

Empire

[Verse 10]

And you and I

Could rule each other's hearts

We'll build our love

And we'll make it our

Empire

Empire

Empire

[Verse 11]

Stone by stone

We'll build a tower

We can call our own

So high that we'll forget

The world below

Oh, just you and I

[Verse 12]

So let the drums roll

The cannons blow

We're letting go

Tonight

[Verse 13]

'Cause we found strength

In each other's arms

We built this love

And we made it our

Empire

Empire

Empire

[Verse 14]

And you and I

Could rule each other's hearts

We'll build our love

And we'll make it our

Empire

Empire

Empire

[Verse 15]

They'll never take it down

Take it down

Burn it down

Burn us down

Take it down

Take it down, our empire

[Verse 16]

They'll never take it down

Take it down

Burn it down

Burn us down

Take it down

Take it down, our empire

[Verse 17]

'Cause we found strength

In each other's arms

We built this love

And we made it our

Empire

Empire

Empire

[Verse 18]

And you and I

Could rule each other's hearts

We'll build our love

And we made it our

Empire

Empire

Empire

[Verse 19]

They'll never take it down

Take it down

Burn it down

Burn us down

Take it down

Take it down, our empire
