Ashes to ashes, dust into dust

I'll follow you through black

Try to forgive that I'm not awake

I'm 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 it our fault?

We rise and fall

Like moths to a flame

Like 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 it our fault?

We rise and fall

We just want it all

Used to be a tower so tall

Now we only are crumbling walls

We rise and fall

Moth to the flame, as we do the same

Like a bird to a pane of glass

Down to the wire

Empires fall
