Did you hear that? There's a sound that they whisper I can't quite make it out But I keep trying Until you stop reminding that it was ever there I've been wading Through the sound that your voice makes That keeps me in this place Took me an entire A paralyzed reminder But were you ever there? The elements are sleeping And these memories are for keeping While the world awaits, It's burning to the ground Chorus: No one can really save us now And I don't care; I won't back down So when you see my face behind a smoking gun Tonight, bear the empire of my heart Fear the day you fall apart So mark my words: You've yet to taste your day in pain I'm through hating We can learn from disaster When you say open far My heart is an empire And you keep it alive by keeping me in pain The elements are sleeping And these memories are for keeping While the world awaits, It's burning to the ground Chorus (Rockin' guitar solo) Chorus (x2)
