Sunset over the Empire
Daniel Erlandsson, Michael Amott
Welcome to the apocalypse, the end of days
Rulers of the wasteland, rejoice in the flames
Futures tumble, legacies crumble
Thousands of years and what have we learned?
They heard the warnings, ignored the signs
Wheels of injustice kept on turning
Unaccountable for their crimes
On the streets anger burning
Black clouds rumble, dark days ahead
As the chorus chants for a holy war
It's the end of an era, a new dawn will rise
Words turned to war, brother fighting brother
Another false truce, as the people die
The fate of the nation forever changed
Behold, the fiery end is nigh
Behind closed doors, corruption wins
The power echelon prepares their task
One step forward, two stabs in the back
Revolution is a mere change of masks
Black clouds rumble, dark days ahead
As the chorus chants for a holy war
It's the end of an era, a new dawn will rise
We rise again from the stench and the pain
We pass through fire, darkness erase the stain
Black clouds rumble, dark days ahead
As the chorus chants for a holy war
It's the end of an era, a new dawn will rise
It's the end of an era, a new dawn
As the sun sets on the empire
Is there a future to be found?
Hopes and dreams now ashes on the ground
Welcome to the apocalypse, the end of days
Benvenuti all'apocalisse, la fine dei giorni
Rulers of the wasteland, rejoice in the flames
Regnanti della terra desolata, gioite nelle fiamme
Futures tumble, legacies crumble
I futuri crollano, le eredità si sgretolano
Thousands of years and what have we learned?
Migliaia di anni e cosa abbiamo imparato?
They heard the warnings, ignored the signs
Hanno sentito gli avvertimenti, ignorato i segni
Wheels of injustice kept on turning
Le ruote dell'ingiustizia hanno continuato a girare
Unaccountable for their crimes
Impuniti per i loro crimini
On the streets anger burning
Sulle strade la rabbia brucia
Black clouds rumble, dark days ahead
Nuvole nere ruggiscono, giorni bui in arrivo
As the chorus chants for a holy war
Mentre il coro intona per una guerra santa
It's the end of an era, a new dawn will rise
È la fine di un'era, sorgerà una nuova alba
Words turned to war, brother fighting brother
Le parole si trasformano in guerra, fratello che combatte fratello
Another false truce, as the people die
Un'altra falsa tregua, mentre la gente muore
The fate of the nation forever changed
Il destino della nazione cambia per sempre
Behold, the fiery end is nigh
Ecco, la fine infuocata è vicina
Behind closed doors, corruption wins
Dietro porte chiuse, vince la corruzione
The power echelon prepares their task
L'echelon del potere prepara il loro compito
One step forward, two stabs in the back
Un passo avanti, due coltellate alla schiena
Revolution is a mere change of masks
La rivoluzione è solo un cambio di maschere
Black clouds rumble, dark days ahead
Nuvole nere ruggiscono, giorni bui in arrivo
As the chorus chants for a holy war
Mentre il coro intona per una guerra santa
It's the end of an era, a new dawn will rise
È la fine di un'era, sorgerà una nuova alba
We rise again from the stench and the pain
Risorgiamo dal fetore e dal dolore
We pass through fire, darkness erase the stain
Passiamo attraverso il fuoco, l'oscurità cancella la macchia
Black clouds rumble, dark days ahead
Nuvole nere ruggiscono, giorni bui in arrivo
As the chorus chants for a holy war
Mentre il coro intona per una guerra santa
It's the end of an era, a new dawn will rise
È la fine di un'era, sorgerà una nuova alba
It's the end of an era, a new dawn
È la fine di un'era, una nuova alba
As the sun sets on the empire
Mentre il sole tramonta sull'impero
Is there a future to be found?
C'è un futuro da trovare?
Hopes and dreams now ashes on the ground
Speranze e sogni ora cenere a terra
Welcome to the apocalypse, the end of days
Bem-vindo ao apocalipse, o fim dos dias
