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

Our empire

Is on fire

Our empire's on fire

Our empire is on fire

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

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