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

Our empire
A#m
Is on fire

Is on fire

Our empire's on fire

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

Our empire
