Empire! Empire! (I Was a Lonely Estate) -
In Which the Choices We Didn't Make Were Better Than the Ones That We Did - Single
Rally the Troops! Poke Holes in Their Defenses! Line Our Coffers With Their Coffins! - Original Version
Sally the ford
if there's no chance of a last push
to save us now
And even though I know,
they'll put your body up to break on the millstone
to abandon hope
This is what you get for thinking you can walk on water
you are not bigger than your words or yourself
But I know you're already sure
so the finest words can never change that
so you'll resign your failure to my complete lack of faith
And come down! I know! I know!
You can't make them see what you see
You'll force your hand
(even if it betrays your body to abandon hope)
This is what you get for thinking you can walk on water
this is what you get for holding your head up so high
Do you wish you had never met such teeth so sharp?
Draw out!
The oldest words will never become the truth
no matter how much you want them to be
if there's no chance of a last push
to save us now
And even though I know,
they'll put your body up to break on the millstone
to abandon hope
This is what you get for thinking you can walk on water
you are not bigger than your words or yourself
But I know you're already sure
so the finest words can never change that
so you'll resign your failure to my complete lack of faith
And come down! I know! I know!
You can't make them see what you see
You'll force your hand
(even if it betrays your body to abandon hope)
This is what you get for thinking you can walk on water
this is what you get for holding your head up so high
Do you wish you had never met such teeth so sharp?
Draw out!
The oldest words will never become the truth
no matter how much you want them to be
