Empire

They don't know your story

They don't know where you've been

All the lonely nights, the silent cries

The wars that you've been in

They don't know your future

Don't know nothing about your past

'Cause you're here to stay, no other way

Your walls are built to last

You will never crumble

Won't break

Made from every fear that you faced

They can never tear it down

Tear it down, tear it down

Empire

We'll rise above it all

Empire

Won't let this kingdom fall

Every bruise, every scar

They have made us who we are

Empire, empire

You're living in the shadow

Of all you've done before

All the good, the bad

The hard, the sad

It's all we're fighting for

You will never crumble

Won't break

Made from every fear that you faced

They can never tear it down

Tear it down, tear it down

Empire

We'll rise above it all

Empire

Won't let this kingdom fall

Every bruise, every scar

They have made us who we are

Empire, empire

We build it up

We build it up

We build it up, higher

We build it up

We build it up

Empire

We'll rise above it all

Empire

Won't let this kingdom fall

Every bruise, every scar

They have made us who we are

Empire, empire
