Verse
C#
Like a city overthrown
Fm
We're turning buildings into stone

We leave the bodies to the crows
A#m
On a funeral of fire
C#
Now we're choking on the fumes

Spread the lie and kill the truth
D#
They're in the ashes of the proof
A#m
We watch the flames rise higher
[Chorus]
C#
Our empire
Fm
Is on fire

Our empire
A#m
Is on fire
C# Fm D# A#m
Our empire's on fire

Our empire is on fire

Now we're falling through the ice
Fm
We made our bed and rolled the dice
D#
Well every gamble has a price
A#m
We watched the cracks grow wider
C#
Waves are climbing past your knees
Fm
It's just the coming of the seas
D#
It's getting harder now to breathe
A#m
We watched the tides rise higher
[Chorus]
