All That Remains Fiat Empire song lyrics

I never asked for more than just what I have

Now, what more can I do with that

I see this fall to come, it's crashing all around

No, I don't think that there's time to waste

The last time was simply a little taste

Now, I think it's just a matter of time

Wide awake, we step to the fall point

Never had thought I'd see this

Why, why, empire cannot last forever

Why, why, the best laid plans can all be cast aside

Why, empire cannot last forever

Why, why, the best laid plans can all be cast aside

Just because we all had our part to play

Doesn't guarantee us just one more day

We've seen the cost before, it's far too much to pay

Desperate times require desperate measures now

Ask a free man and he'll show you how

Our fathers paved the way for us to lash out

Wide awake, we step to the fall point

Never had thought I'd see this

Why, why, empire cannot last forever

Why, why, the best laid plans can all be cast aside

Keynesianism, live the lie

Trapped in this prison, destroying lives
