Verse
E
Like a city overthrown
G#m
We're turning buildings into stone
F#
We leave the bodies to the crows
C#m
On a funeral of fire
E
Now we're choking on the fumes
G#m
Spread the lie and kill the truth
F#
They're in the ashes of the proof
C#m
We watch the flames rise higher
[Chorus]
E
Our empire
G#m
Is on fire
F#
Our empire
C#m
Is on fire
E G#m F# C#m
Our empire's on fire
E G#m F# C#m E
Our empire is on fire
[Verse 2]
E
Now we're falling through the ice
G#m
We made our bed and rolled the dice
F#
Well every gamble has a price
C#m
We watched the cracks grow wider
E
Waves are climbing past your knees
G#m
It's just the coming of the seas
F#
It's getting harder now to breathe
C#m
We watched the tides rise higher
[Chorus]
E
Our empire
G#m
Is on fire
F#
Our empire
C#m
Is on fire
E G#m F# C#m
Our empire's on fire
E G#m F# C#m
Our empire is on fire

I said I know you know we feel it in our bones
