Della Mae - Empire lyrics

Artist: Della Mae

album: This World Oft Can Be


The Empire sits on the edge of a hill
Born out of a gypsum mine
Held at once 300 souls
And none of them were mine
Now they're just ghosts in the street
Wandering a land that sleeps
Once it was a lively place
Now just tumbleweeds
The houses they are silent
Quiet as thieves
Now they're just ghosts in the street
Wandering a land that sleeps
Oh, the miners calloused hands
The women who planted the seed on the land
Empire met its end
Once you're gone you cannot go back
The locks they have all froze
The lid upon the coffin
Now it has been closed
Now they're just ghosts in the street
Wandering a land that sleeps
Oh the men who build the Empire
Up from the ground
Missed the cracks in the foundation
One blow and it all falls down
Now they're just ghosts in the street
Wandering a land that sleeps
Oh, the miners calloused hands
The women who planted the seed on the land
Empire met its end
O, the miners calloused hands
The women who planted the seed on the land
Empire met its end
Oh the Empire met its end
Oh, the Empire
Met its end
