killdren - empires all crumble lyrics

colossal empires have existed throughout history
who conquered vast swathes of land
replacing ideologies by the sword
dominating nations and eradicating civilisations
but there is one thing
one very, very important detail
that all of these empires shared…
…they all perished in the end!

what goes up
must come down
empires all crumble

these towers aren’t ivory
as i walk through the city
but they scr-pe the sky over me
their hosts know no pity
i don’t claim to understand the economy
but i think i understand vast inequality
i feel powerless
but power is an illusion, a construct
law made flesh, robots to instruct
it could all be brought down
with a glitch in the design
a spanner in the works
not even they can see the signs

what goes up –
must come down
empires all crumble!
empires all crumble!

it’s us versus them
challenge their worldview
the 1% inner circle
empire of the few
they say rome
wasn’t built in a day
that empire fell
without their say
powerful structures
have foundations tremble
fall apart at the seams
no more will they resemble
it’s mere mortals
who make this their cause
exposed to death and fears
whilst they manifest laws
what goes up –
must come down
empires all crumble!
empires all crumble!

empires are never built to last
corruption and greed resign them to the past
we can live to see capitalism fail
we can live to see a new model prevail
one not built on compet-tion
secret police and extradition
wars for oil and media spin
it’s our world still, it’s all to win
what goes up
must come down
what goes up
must come down
empires, empires, empires all crumble
empires, empires, empires all crumble

what goes up –
must come down
empires all crumble!
empires all crumble!
