You raise an empire to see it fall And build new bridges to burn them all What makes you better leaves you worse To bear the weight of this curse A king with no crown I scream aloud Hoping one day I'll make you proud When this all comes to an end We'll look and laugh at the past, my friend And I can see things clear now (Oh) Yeah, we'll never stop until we're dead (Oh) Yeah, these scars I've earned I wear with no regret (Oh) Yeah, your wasted words have turned me deaf (Oh) Yeah, this empire will be all that we have left When our loved ones are made of dreams The hope we give belongs to thieves Stand up tall and hope to thrive As the devil says "enjoy the ride" Take a deep breath and disappear Once you've been heard, it all comes clear Heal broken bones and break this cast Build a future, make it last And I can see things clear now (Oh) Yeah, we'll never stop until we're dead (Oh) Yeah, these scars I've earned I wear with no regret (Oh) Yeah, your wasted words have turned me deaf (Oh) Yeah, this empire will be all that we have left This is who I'm supposed to be Even if I have to crawl This is how it's meant to be I will be there for it all This is who I'm supposed to be Even if I have to crawl This is how it's meant to be I will be there for it all (Oh) Yeah, we'll never stop until we're dead (Oh) Yeah, these scars I've earned I wear with no regret (Oh) Yeah, your wasted words have turned me deaf (Oh) Yeah, this empire will be all that we have left
