Verse
G#
Like a city overthrown
Cm
We're turning buildings into stone
A#
We leave the bodies to the crows
Fm
On a funeral of fire
G#
Now we're choking on the fumes
Cm
Spread the lie and kill the truth
A#
They're in the ashes of the proof
Fm
We watch the flames rise higher
[Chorus]

Our empire
Cm
Is on fire

[Verse 2]
G#
Now we're falling through the ice
Cm
We made our bed and rolled the dice
A#
Well every gamble has a price
Fm
We watched the cracks grow wider
G#
Waves are climbing past your knees
Cm
It's just the coming of the seas
A#
It's getting harder now to breathe
Fm
We watched the tides rise higher
[Chorus]
