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 birds 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.

Down to the wire
Empires fall.
