Lyrics[]

Ashes to ashes, dust into dust
I'll follow you through black
Try to forgive that I'm not awake
I'm dreaming this dream could last

No looking down
There's fool's gold in our eyes

Burning an empire
Happens so easy
Playing with fire
Maybe it's you and me
Burning an empire
Is it our fault?
We rise and fall

Like moths to a flame
Like bird to a pane of glass
Hoping for change but we do the same
We're gasoline and a match

No looking down
There's fool's gold in our eyes

Burning an empire
Happens so easy
Playing with fire
Maybe it's you and me
Burning an empire
Is it our fault?
We rise and fall

We just want it all
Used to be a tower so tall
Now we only are crumbling walls
We rise and fall
Moth to the flame, as we do the same
Like a bird to a pane of glass

Down to the wire
Empires fall
