When empires burn

When empires burn

When empires burn

A raging heart, a second hand emotion

The flowers of freedom, turn to cold heartless skies

The feint refrain of songs of dreams and wonder

The nightmare visions wait behind closing eyes

The winds of change, the words of hope and splendour

A slowly fading star in circles belief

But then it came, a sound that rocked a nation

We only suffer fools when fools we believe

But only dreamers get lost in cold perfection

Love changes temples when banners unfurl

The blind man leads the blind to find a new direction

Whatever it takes love survives

When empires burn and the hammer it must fall

The innocent finally find the truth behind it all

When empires burn, the last curtain call

The children will dream in their hearts, a new world tonight

When empires burn and freedom is the sound

The pages of history see the world tumbling down

When empires burn, a new brighter day

The children will shine in their eyes, a new world tonight

When empires burn

The blackened night, the sound of heavy thunder

The wheels keep turning as we fight to the fall

The last embrace across the seas and oceans

As one in spirit but united the cause

The burning bridges gives light to new horizons

The milk of human kind as white as the day

The cup of kindness gives a bittersweet emotion

Whatever it takes love survives

When empires burn and the hammer it must fall

The innocent finally find the truth behind it all

When empires burn, the last curtain call

The children will dream in their hearts, a new world tonight

When empires burn and freedom is the sound

The pages of history see the world tumbling down

When empires burn, a new brighter day

The children will shine in their eyes, a new world tonight

When empires burn

When empires burn

When empires burn and the hammer it must fall

The innocent finally find the truth behind it all

When empires burn, the last curtain call

The children will dream in their hearts, a new world tonight

When empires burn and freedom is the sound

The pages of history see the world tumbling down

When empires burn, a new brighter day

The children will shine in their eyes, a new world tonight
