All Empires Fall

You can take, but you can't keep
Can't hold forever under pressure stopping cracks spread
Watch the shell break
Watch the walls shake
Watch the slaves bail
As the empire fails

Everyone born dies
And everything made is left behind outside
In the end
Every state fails
Every head falls
Everything fades
No one's keeping time
No one ends up alive

You rise, and you'll fall
All empires fall

Ascent is a temporary state
It won't last
The peak will crumble
The now will be passed
Entropy wins
Energy pales
Every state fails

Nothing is promised to be fair
Entropy wins but it doesn't care
In the end
Every state fails
Every head falls
Everything fades
No one's keeping time
No one ends up alive

You rise, and you'll fall
All empires fall
