fiat empire

i never asked for more than just what i have

now

what more can i do with that

i see this fall to come

it's crashing all around

no

i don't think that there's time to waste

the last time was simply a little taste

now

i think it's just a matter of time

wide awake

we step to the fall point

never had thought i'd see this

why

why

empire cannot last forever

why

why

the best laid plans can all be cast aside

why

empire cannot last forever

why

why

the best laid plans can all be cast aside

just because we all had our part to play

doesn't guarantee us just one more day

we've seen the cost before

it's far too much to pay

desperate times require desperate measures now

ask a free man and he'll show you how

our fathers paved the way for us to lash out

wide awake

we step to the fall point

never had thought i'd see this

why

why

empire cannot last forever

why

why

the best laid plans can all be cast aside

keynesianism

live the lie

trapped in this prison

destroying lives
