Lyrics August Burns Red

August Burns Red

Empire

Skyscrapers, earth movers, ground breakers

Our buildings rival the heavens, our bridges span the seas

Ingenuity? is so cunning, innovation is not ours, creativity is a luxury

We build with our hands what we have in our hearts

Fight the avalanche, you'll be buried every time

We run and run and run, keep falling behind

Fight the avalanche, you'll be buried every time

We run and run and run, always last in line

Before lines were lines

Before time was time

The author wrote a story in the sky

And earth below

Little do we know we have only what we're given

Light up the sky, we're going where no man has ever gone

Little do we know we have only what we're given

Light up the sky, we're going where no man's forgotten

All You are is all we want, it burns inside us all

We're finding heart in giving soul

We're walking home into thin air singing

We are justice fighters with faces of fire

Many walk away,? but we stand firm

We are justice fighters with faces of fire

Our decisions affect our descendants

We are justice fighters with faces of fire

Skyscrapers, earth movers, ground breakers

Our footsteps, bringing purpose, changing history

Skyscrapers, earth movers, ground? breakers

Our footsteps, bringing purpose, changing history
