[Verse 1]
I never asked for more than just what I have
Now, what more can I do with that?
I see this fall to come; it's crashing all around
No, I don't think that there's time to waste
The last time was simply a little taste
Now, I think it's just a matter of time
[Pre-Chorus]
Wide awake, we step to the fall point
Never had thought I'd see this
[Chorus]
Why, why, empire cannot last forever
Why, why, the best-laid plans can all be cast aside
Why, empire cannot last forever
Why, why, the best-laid plans can all be cast aside
[Verse 2]
Just because we all had our part to play
Doesn't guarantee us just one more day
We've seen the cost before; it's far too much to pay
Desperate times require desperate measures now
Ask a free man, and he'll show you how
Our fathers paved the way for us to lash out
I never asked for more than just what I have
Now, what more can I do with that?
I see this fall to come; it's crashing all around
No, I don't think that there's time to waste
The last time was simply a little taste
Now, I think it's just a matter of time
[Pre-Chorus]
Wide awake, we step to the fall point
Never had thought I'd see this
[Chorus]
Why, why, empire cannot last forever
Why, why, the best-laid plans can all be cast aside
Why, empire cannot last forever
Why, why, the best-laid plans can all be cast aside
[Verse 2]
Just because we all had our part to play
Doesn't guarantee us just one more day
We've seen the cost before; it's far too much to pay
Desperate times require desperate measures now
Ask a free man, and he'll show you how
Our fathers paved the way for us to lash out
