Fallen Empires

You called my name in the dark

Called me back to the start

The condensation is building tension

A stubborn silence is formed

Around our bodies it's warm

The cool wet grasses as summer passes

Frightened under attack

Fallen flat on my back

Arms and legs I'm too scared to beg

You haunt me most when it's light

The thought of you don't sit right

I need the darkness a death grip embrace

Raising cities to dust

Faces dripping in lust

Fallen empires and raging bush fires

All your words confounded

Secret lives bound and hid

Living backwards in tangled back woods

You ruined everything right

So good I can't see the light

From my cave I can see the wave

Fallen empires and raging bush fires

We are the light, we are the light

Run to the fire
