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

Our empire's on fire
G Bm A Em
Our empire is on fire

G
I said I know you know we feel it in our bones
Bm
I said I know you know we feel it in our bones
A
I said I know you know we feel it in our bones
Em
I said I know, woah oh oh!
G Bm A Em
