Empires
Oh, empires
Oh, empires
Empires, your help is on the way
In bonfires slash, circuit breaks and change
Empires, empires
No, you needn't worry, hey
'Bout your empires, empires

You know that zero is one more than null
But a zero can't leave well-enough alone
Oh, empires

Come and meet your new gods
Livewire and stick
Shock troops and foxes stumble from the mist
Empires, empires
You should mind your trust
Of these empirеs, empires

You know that zero is onе more than null
But a zero can't leave well-enough alone

Who will come for you? Oh, no
No, no
Who can't hide from us? Oh, no
No, no
Pick your avatars for graves
No, no
Ooh, empires
Come and meet your new gods
Livewire and stick
Shock troops and foxes stumble from the mist
It's about your empires, empires
It's about your empires, empires
It's about your empires, empires

Ooh, empires
The fascist face of faith
Empires
Kiss the brutal fist of hate (Hey)
Empires, empires
Who owns the black of the night?
In your empires, empires
