[Verse]
Once a city on the hill
Glory shining bright and still
Streets of gold now turn to dust

[Verse 2]
Echoes of the past remain
Whispers in the pouring rain
Walls that crumble with the rust

[Chorus]
Oh fallen empire cry
Underneath the ancient sky
Memories of days gone by

[Verse]
Stone and steel now pulled apart
Legends buried in the dark
Stories fade to dusk from dawn

[Bridge]
Shadows dance where heroes stood
Washed away like running blood
Time will tell what we have drawn

[Chorus]
Oh fallen empire cry
Underneath the ancient sky
Memories of days gone by
