[Verse1]
They don't know your story
They don't know where you've been
All the lonely nights, the silent cries
The wars that you've been in
They don't know your future
Don't know nothing about your past
'Cause you're here to stay, no other way
Your walls are built to last
[Pre-Chorus]
You will never crumble
Won't break
Made from every fear that you faced
They can never tear it down
Tear it down, tear it down
[Chorus]
Empire
We'll rise above it all
Empire
Won't let this kingdom fall
Every bruise, every scar
They have made us who we are
Empire, empire
[Verse 2]
You're living in the shadow
Of all you've done before
All the good, the bad
The hard, the sad
It's all we're fighting for
[Pre-Chorus]
You will never crumble
Won't break
Made from every fear that you faced
They can never tear it down
Tear it down, tear it down
[Chorus]
Empire
We'll rise above it all
Empire
Won't let this kingdom fall
Every bruise, every scar
They have made us who we are
Empire, empire
[Bridge]
We build it up
We build it up
We build it up, higher
We build it up
We build it up
[Chorus]
Empire
We'll rise above it all
Empire
Won't let this kingdom fall
Every bruise, every scar
They have made us who we are
Empire, empire
