Weyes Blood - Children of the Empire Lyrics

Lookin' like some clear skies
Have finally opened up my eyes
Livin' in a lost time
The dawning of a brand new man
So much blood on our hands
King and queen of being lonely
Children of the empire see
That we're all lost

It comes a cost walking in the labyrinth without love
How much can you take?
And when are you gonna be ok?
Gain control of what we made
Instead of being afraid
Children of the empire say

We're long gone
In that eternal flame
Trying to break away
From the mess we made
Oh, we don't have time anymore to be afraid

We tend to live long that's why so many things go wrong
People selling the young blood
I guess that's the price you pay
Make desire but no one wins, ohh
Won't the fire burn us in
Before we get a chance to love again?
Children understand that they pay (pay) for their sins
Seize control of what they (they) made
Before we all fade away
Children of the empire wanna change

'Cause we're long gone
In that eternal flame
Trying to break away
From the mess we made
Oh, we don't have time anymore
To be afraid, anymore

Children of the empire know
Know that they're not free
Even though they wanna be free
We know we're not free
Even though
We wanna be free
