Empire - Blanche

Empires fade away

A silly game that people play

I’m not of a kind

That loses faith

If all you wanna hear are lies

Don’t knock at my door

You would only realize

We’re waiting for the blur

We can only wait it out

I know I can make it stop

Maybe you should let it happen

And wait for the blur

It used to be a random place

Used to be a stranger’s face

Did it take you by surprise,

When it started to blur?

Everything we are

Hanging in fear

It’s a kind of fever for people

Strong as we are

Everything we are

Hanging in fear

It’s a kind of fever for people

Strong as we are

Won’t you be the one who,

Leads me to the unknown?

And I’m waiting, wonderin'

How long you can keep me on my throne

Won’t you be the one who,

Leads me to the unknown?

And I’m waiting, wonderin'

If we’re strong as we are

Strong as I am

Dithers fade away

Don’t know what I should have said

The blur made me blind

Alone I lay

I promise that you’ll find your love

You opened up the gates

You know how to find me

But you backed out

You let me down, you let me down, you think

You sent me down, you let me drown again

Everything we are

Hanging in fear

It’s a kind of fever for people

Strong as we are

Everything we are

Hanging in fear

It’s a kind of fever for people

Strong as we are

Won’t you be the one who,

Leads me to the unknown?

And I’m waiting, wonderin'

How long you can keep me on my throne

Won’t you be the one who,

Leads me to the unknown?

And I’m waiting, wonderin'

If we’re strong as we are

Everything we are

Hanging in fear

It’s a kind of fever for people

Strong as we are

Everything we are

Hanging in fear

It’s a kind of fever for people

Strong as we are

It’s a fever for people, fever for people

Fever for people, fever for people

Fever for people, fever for people

Fever for people, fever for people

Won’t you be the one who,

Leads me to the unknown?

And I’m waiting, wonderin'

How long you can keep me on my throne

Won’t you be the one who,

Leads me to the unknown?

And I’m waiting, wonderin'

If we’re strong as we are

Strong as we are
