The Saints - Fall of the Empire

It`s the fall of an empire
it`s in the air
It`s the mood of the moment
and I don`t care
close your eyes
close your eyes
consider yourself in the scheme of things
when you open your eyes
take a look around

The fields are burning
there`s water in my eyes
and the sky turns black
There`s no returning
once you`ve gone
there`s no coming back
as night turns to day
what would you say
to make me change my mind
I don`t believe the lie

I rose early
the trumpet sounded
and all the walls had come down
I`m celebrating
with champagne breath and clown
as ruined as the rest of the town
I`m falling down

The wheels are turning
I`m moving on and that`s a fact
There is no returning
once you`ve gone there`s no coming back
close your eyes
close your eyes
consider yourself in the scheme of things
and when you open your eyes
take a look around

It`s the fall of an empire
