Arch Enemy - Sunset Over The Empire

Lyrics to Sunset Over The Empire by Arch Enemy

[Intro] Welcome to the apocalypse, the end of days Rulers of the wasteland, rejoice in the flames Futures tumble, legacies crumble Thousands of years and what have we learned? [Verse 1] They heard the warnings, ignored the signs Wheels of injustice kept on turning Unaccountable for their crimes On the streets anger burning [Chorus] Black clouds rumble, dark days ahead As the chorus chants for a holy war “It’s the end of an era, a new dawn will rise” [Verse 2] Words turned to war, brother fighting brother Another false truce, as the people die The fate of the nation forever changed Behold - the fiery end is nigh Behind closed doors, corruption wins The power echelon prepares their task One step forward, two stabs in the back Revolution is a mere change of masks? [Chorus] Black clouds rumble, dark days ahead As the chorus chants for a holy war “It’s the end of an era, a new dawn will rise” [Bridge] We rise again from the stench and the pain We pass through fire, darkness erase the stain [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] Black clouds rumble, dark days ahead As the chorus chants for a holy war “It’s the end of an era, a new dawn will rise” “It’s the end of an era, a new dawn” [Outro] As the sun sets on the empire Is there a future to be found? Hopes and dreams…now ashes on the ground
