《End of an Empire》歌词

[00:00:00] End of an Empire - Turisas

[00:00:01] The time is here

[00:00:04] Time to be brave while others fear

[00:00:08] Fear the stars the moon and the holy ghost

[00:00:14] It's what lurks in the dark that scares us the most

[00:00:20] You're damned if you do you're damned if you don't

[00:00:26] What tomorrow brings is still the unknown

[00:00:32] But can you condone how to atone

[00:00:36] I'm so alone

[00:00:39] How can I know I won't bemoan

[00:00:45] Every tale needs its star and knave

[00:00:51] Which part I play is yet to be unveiled

[00:00:58] History just what's agreed

[00:01:03] Yet it will judge both you and me

[00:01:09] Shields and swords will win you wars

[00:01:15] But in the end the battle's for our hearts

[00:01:21] Fought by bards

[00:01:37] We know the walls will fall

[00:01:51] You look back in time

[00:01:53] No one heard the bells chime

[00:01:56] You wonder how

[00:02:00] How could they this allow

[00:02:03] Exactly the same

[00:02:06] Are the questions aimed your way

[00:02:09] When looking back on today

[00:02:15] The time is here

[00:02:18] Time to be brave let others fear

[00:02:21] We know the walls will fall

[00:02:28] But out of the ashes a new day will dawn

[00:02:34] We've enslaved the world

[00:02:37] We have slaughtered we've burned

[00:02:41] All in the name of our faith

[00:02:46] Only a fool would expect

[00:02:49] Others to settle for anything less

[00:02:52] The tide is about to turn

[00:03:21] The sea has pulled away

[00:03:23] Like small children we play

[00:03:27] What is this

[00:03:29] Come take a look at all these fish

[00:03:33] As long as you spend

[00:03:35] There is more for you to lend

[00:03:38] Someone always saves us in the end

[00:03:45] The time is here

[00:03:47] Time to be brave let others fear

[00:03:51] We know the walls will fall

[00:03:58] But out of the ashes a new day will dawn

[00:04:04] We've enslaved the world

[00:04:07] We have slaughtered we've burned

[00:04:11] All while knowing what is best

[00:04:16] Might take a year or ten

[00:04:19] Generations of men

[00:04:22] We've passed the point of no return

[00:04:34] Fifty-three days in 53

[00:04:37] Fifty-three steps for you to acknowledge your defeat

[00:04:43] The last in line ultimus romanorum

[00:04:49] Evolution through revolution

[00:04:52] A frozen river enough to tip an empire

[00:04:58] Stalingrad Waterloo Bastille Poltava Stamford Bridge

[00:05:06] At Manzikert it would all end

[00:05:14] Tough are times ahead

[00:05:16] With care you tread

[00:05:19] Before you know

[00:05:23] Out we need to bow

[00:05:26] Enjoy it while it lasts

[00:05:28] Soon forgotten in the past

[00:05:31] Our time here ended so fast

[00:05:37] Open your eyes

[00:05:40] Yourself apprise

[00:05:43] All empires find their demise

[00:05:48] The taller they are the harder they fall

[00:05:54] The snowball

[00:05:57] Is on the roll

[00:06:01] Open your eyes

[00:06:04] Yourself apprise

[00:06:07] New powers are on the rise

[00:06:12] So strong is our faith that the world stays as is

[00:06:18] Until it hits like shattering glass to bits

[00:06:26] How did this happen how could this happen

[00:06:32] How could the empire fall
