Maybe it's exhaustion
You never see
Alternatives come cautious
But forcefully
Oh, Empire! Oh, Empire!
Empty and pristine
Maybe it's just me

Maybe that's the way it goes
Maybe that's the sound of something
Breaking up against your walls
Decades in the sound of something
Maybe that's the way it goes
Maybe that's the sound of something
Breaking up against your walls
Decades in the sound of something

Maybe it's the coffin
The dirt on me
Perceived, so oft forgotten
Reality
Oh, Vampire! Oh, Vampire!
Empty and pristine
Oh, how long has it been?

Maybe that's the way it goes
Maybe that's the sound of something
Breaking up against your walls
Decades in the sound of something
Maybe that's the way it goes
Maybe that's the sound of something
Breaking up against your walls
Decades in the sound of something
