Empire Lyrics

Say so long to the end of the empire, built terra firma to sky

Brick by brick, destroyed by fire, as the dark clouds roll on by

All that remains is the brick and the ghost, it's been pulled down from pillar to post

There's nothing left, but ruins on which I stand

Ruins on which I stand

One more night, I'm yours

One more night, I'm yours

Just cause Rome wasn't built in a day, it doesn't mean you shouldn't bother trying to repave

All the cracks that make their way, to our foundations where they stay

Cause all that does remain is the brick and the ghost of yesterday

Best believe me when I say, revolution's on the way

One more night, I'm yours

One more night, I'm yours

I'll give your love all my attention, from now till the day I die

Free from fear and apprehension, I'll never ask you why

As the lamplight shades and darkness fades, I'll take you by the hand

And we'll hug the shore forever more, in our castle made of sand

Stay so long to the end of the empire, build terra firma to sky

Brick by brick, destroyed by fire, as the dark clouds roll on by

All that remains is the brick and the ghost, it's been pulled down from pillar to post

There's nothing left, but ruins on which I stand

Ruins on which I stand

One more night, I'm yours

One more night, I'm yours

One more night, I'm yours

One more night, I'm yours

One more night, I'm yours

One more night, I'm yours

One more night, I'm yours
