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