Sunset over the Empire

Welcome to the apocalypse, the end of days Rulers of the wasteland, rejoice in the flames Futures tumble, legacies crumble Thousands of years and what have we learned? They heard the warnings, ignored the signs Wheels of injustice kept on turning Unaccountable for their crimes On the streets anger burning Black clouds rumble, dark days ahead As the chorus chants for a holy war "It's the end of an era, a new dawn will rise" Words turned to war, brother fighting brother Another false truce, as the people die The fate of the nation forever changed Behold - the fiery end is nigh Behind closed doors, corruption wins The power echelon prepares their task One step forward, two stabs in the back Revolution is a mere change of masks? Black clouds rumble, dark days ahead As the chorus chants for a holy war "It's the end of an era, a new dawn will rise" We rise again from the stench and the pain We pass through fire, darkness erase the stain Black clouds rumble, dark days ahead As the chorus chants for a holy war "It's the end of an era, a new dawn will rise" "It's the end of an era, a new dawn" As the sun sets on the empire Is there a future to be found? Hopes and dreams... now ashes on the ground
