Ashes to ashes dust into dust
I'll follow you through black
Try to forgive that I'm not awake
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 our fault we
Rise and fall
Like moths to a flame
Like a 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 our fault we
Rise and fall
We just want it all
Used to be a tower so tall
Now we're only crumbling walls
We rise and fall
Moth to a flame as we do the same
Like a bird to a pane of glass
Burning an empire
Happens so easy
Playing with fire
Maybe it's you and me
Burning an empire
Is our fault we
Rise and fall
