Empire In Decline

There's a riot in the streets
The earth is opening up under me
I'm an empire in decline now honey

There's murder being done
On what used to be our love
They're smashing windows and taking it for themselves

I will meet you there
Where the light despairs
And the shadow falls over me honey

Yeah
There ain't nothing left but dust and bones
So don't you come around knocking on my coffin anymorе
Yeah
There ain't nothing lеft of the man you used to know
So don't you be around crying by my tombstone anymore

The smoke is hanging low
Through my window
And the ash settles down at my feet

I'm counting up the costs
All the good people that were lost
I'm pulling limp bodies up from the mud

At least you had the presence of mind
To get out of this empire in decline
Before it all went to hell now honey

Yeah
There ain't nothing left but dust and bones
So don't you come around knocking on my coffin anymore
Yeah
There ain't nothing left of the man you used to know
So don't you be around crying by my tombstone anymore

Yeah
There ain't nothing left but dust and bones
So don't you come around knocking on my coffin anymore
Yeah
There ain't nothing left of the man you used to know
So don't you be around crying by my tombstone anymore

Yeah
I am nothing but dust and bones
So don't you come around knocking on my coffin anymore
Yeah
There ain't nothing left of the man you used to know
So don't you be around crying by my tombstone anymore

Yeah
Yeah
