Valley Of Chrome Lyrics

2. Empire

Is this the downfall of our empire?!

All our life we played with knives
Knives of our enemies
Personalities slowly die
A gathering of the unkind

We traded in our dignity
Hindered possibilities
To grow and to reach out
Now all we have is doubt

We have nothing to be proud of
Yet we glorify
So jaded and mechanical
Yet nothing's done

Our lives are meant to be lived
All is taken for granted
And we don't see

[Chorus:]
Is this the downfall of our empire?
Realize life is a gift
To pursue all our desires
We must not surrender or become tired
Or our fate will remain
Submerged into the fire

What was can be again - Repeat
Retrace - Accept - Prevent -- Defeat

It's alarming we don't listen
Self-defeating mannerisms
Our story's never ending
Are we contented or just pretending?

I am the victim of my own decisions
I've cut the knife through me
Incisions are made...

We have nothing to be proud of
So jaded and mechanical
Our lives are lived for a reason
All is taken for granted

From the ashes to flesh
This day won't be our last
From tragedy comes hope
To move on from the past
