Sk-68 lyrics - Crown The Empire

Walk with me tonight
Walk with me tonight
To find what's after life

Are You Coming With Me? lyrics - Crown The Empire

We know now that in the early years of the twentieth century,
This world was being watched closely by intelligences
Greater than man's and yet as mortal as his own

Did I find the blood inside my bones
Reaching out into the great unknown?
What a life, what a fucked up love we hold
Polarized by what we can't control

We have the chance to realize
Are we the stars, or just the sky?
We have the chance to find our eyes
So are you coming with me?

I'll go, whoa, hey hey hey
I'll go, whoa, hey hey hey

When you find the dust behind the sun
You're alive, but so misunderstood

We're so afraid to change our minds
Are we the shark or just the prize
No I'm not afraid to open wide
So are you coming with me?

I'll go, whoa, hey hey hey
I'll go, whoa

Climb the sky or cauterize (or cauterize)
Golden eyes are better blind (are better blind)

I don't know what I'm meant to see, meant to see
So I'll just hold my breath, and wait for gravity

We don't know what we're meant to see, meant to see
So we'll just hold our breath
We don't know what we're meant to see, meant to see
So we'll just hold our breath

So we'll just hold our breath

Now are you coming with me?

I'll go, whoa (I'll go)
I'll go, whoa

Climb the sky or cauterize, or cauterize
Golden eyes are better blind, are better blind

I'll go, I'll go, I'll go
Hey hey hey
I'll go, I'll go, I'll go
Now are you coming with me?

With me

Zero lyrics - Crown The Empire

I’m breaking static, I’m changing my frequency
If I don’t speak out, then no one’s listening
But I won’t live in vain, in vain

We stand on the edge wondering, wondering
If I take one step will I live, will I sink?
We’re dying for more every day, every day
So count down from ten and jump when I say
Zero, zero

We’re breaking static, just radio frequencies
If we don’t speak out, then there’s no one listening
Is anyone listening to me?

We stand on the edge wondering, wondering
If I take one step will I live, will I sink?
We’re dying for more every day, every day
So count down from ten and jump when I say...

We won’t hesitate
We won’t close our eyes
We won’t turn away
We’re taking back our lives
We won’t hesitate
We won’t close our eyes
We won’t turn away
We’re taking back our lives for the first time
For the first time
(We won’t hesitate
We won’t close our eyes
We won’t turn away)

We stand on the edge wondering, wondering
If I take one step will I live, will I sink?
We’re dying for more every day, every day
So count down from ten and jump when I say
Zero, zero, zero, zero

Aftermath lyrics - Crown The Empire

There's nothing I can't face
So open the flood gates
No fear of what's to come
I'm not going under
Not running for cover
Standing against the sun

After the fire, after the flames
Nothing will feel the same
My scars are closing, my heart is open
I am not afraid

I'm ready to breathe again
I'm beginning to catch my breath
I'm ready to dream again
Surviving what left me for dead
I had to bleed to lose
Find myself to prove
I could feel love without end
I'm all that I have
I am the aftermath

Show it no mercy
'Cause you cannot hurt me
No more will I bite my tongue
Tired of worthless fighting with purpose
No longer will I stay numb

After the fire, after the flames
Nothing will feel the same
My scars are closing, my heart is open
I am not afraid

I'm ready to breathe again
I'm beginning to catch my breath
I'm ready to dream again
Surviving what left me for dead
I had to bleed to lose
Find myself to prove
I could feel love without end
I'm all that I have
I am the aftermath

Break my bones, you will see
You can't kill me, you can't kill me!
Break my bones, you will see
You can't kill me, you can't kill me!

You can't kill me!

I'm ready to breathe again
I'm beginning to catch my breath
I'm ready to dream again
Surviving what left me for dead
I had to bleed to lose
Find myself to prove
I could feel love without end

I'm all that I have
I'm all that I have
I'm all that I have
I am the aftermath!
I am the aftermath!
(Aftermath)

Break my bones, you will see
You can't kill me, you can't kill me!
Break my bones, you will see
You can't kill me, you can't kill me!

Hologram lyrics - Crown The Empire

Through your eyes I fight for gravity
A place to stand, and a place to breathe

When the walls begin to shake
In the home you thought you knew
Will you run? Will you stay? Will you choose?

Do you know who I am?
I’m so afraid you’ll never understand
There’s a part of me still lost out there
And I just want to know
Yeah, I just want to know
Am I becoming a hologram?

Close your eyes from the darker side of things
A shade of grey hidden under sheets

When the walls begin to shake
In the home you thought you knew
Will you run? Will you stay? Will you choose?

Do you know who I am?
I’m so afraid you’ll never understand
There’s a part of me still lost out there
And I just want to know
Yeah, I just want to know
Am I becoming a hologram?
Now I think I’m worried that I’m in too deep
Like a phantom that you’ll never see
So I just want to know
Yeah I just want to know
Am I a part of the hologram?

You have seen this incident based on sworn testimony.
Can you prove that it didn't happen?
Perhaps on your way home someone will pass you in the dark, and you will never know it, for they will be from outer space

Shadowed in time, another road redefined, redefined
Shadowed in time, another road redefined, redefined
Redefined

Do you know who I am?
I’m so afraid you’ll never understand
There’s a part of me still lost out there
And I just want to know
Yeah, I just want to know
Am I becoming a hologram?
Now I think I’m worried that I’m in too deep
Like a phantom that you’ll never see
So I just want to know
Yeah I just want to know
Am I a part of the hologram?

Shadowed in time, another road redefined, redefined
Shadowed in time, another road redefined, redefined

The Fear Is Real lyrics - Crown The Empire

If you open the door, time and space will follow you home
If you open the door, time and space will follow you home

Lucky Us lyrics - Crown The Empire

Are you hanging on my words tonight?
Don't you get it? Don't you get it?
Hold your breath and everything's just fine
Don't you get it?

Forgotten we could be alone if we waste away, waste away
If there's a love that brings us home, it drowned today

We smile and grind our teeth away
Good luck forgot to call our names
Good god
Lucky us, lucky us, lucky us

No one's hanging on our words tonight
Don't you get it? Don't you get it?
You can try, but you won't change their minds
Don't forget it

Burned in the sun
Afraid of what you'll become
You'll pay the price when you're free, you'll see
Tell me who you want to be
Tell me what you want to see

We smile and grind our teeth away
Good luck forgot to call our names
Good god
Tortured, but no one leads the way
Force-fed like rats inside a maze
Good god
Lucky us, lucky us, lucky us

Are you hanging on my words tonight?
Don't you get it? Don't you get it?
Hold your breath and everything's just fine
Don't you get it? Don't you get it?

We smile and grind our teeth away
Good luck forgot to call our names
Good god
Tortured, but no one leads the way
Force-fed like rats inside a maze
Good god
Lucky us, lucky us, lucky us
Lucky us, lucky us, lucky us

Weight Of The World lyrics - Crown The Empire

You've been doing what you like
Thinking that you're always right
You can hold your breath,
'Cause I won't hold mine

You wouldn't care if it killed me
Misunderstood when you're guilty
No you can bite your tongue
'Cause I won't bite mine

It's all so complicated
The way we're built to break it
I think it's overrated
I'm sick, I'm sick
I'm sick of the weight of the world

I'm so so sick
I'm so so sick

Now you think you've won this time
Thinking life was yours to buy
But you should wonder why
You can't sleep at night

You wouldn't care if it killed me
Misunderstood when you're guilty
No you can bite your tongue
'Cause I won't bite mine
This time

It's all so complicated
The way we're built to break it
I think it's overrated
I'm sick, I'm sick
I'm sick of the weight of the world
Don't need your validation
Your drawn out dedication
I think it's overrated
I'm sick, I'm sick
I'm sick of the weight of the world

I'm so so sick
I'm so so sick
I'm so so sick
I'm so sick

It's all so complicated
The way we're built to break it
I think it's overrated
I'm sick, I'm sick
I'm sick of the weight of the world
Don't need your validation
Your drawn out dedication
I think it's overrated
I'm sick, I'm sick
I'm sick of the weight of the world

I'm so so sick
I'm so so sick
I'm so so sick
I'm so sick

Signs Of Life lyrics - Crown The Empire

I fill these bones with hollow promises
I can feel the world outside under my skin
And all these walls are slowly caving in
I would climb if I could find my way again

It feels so close, yet so far gone
It feels so close, but still

I'm looking for a sign of life behind the sky
Is anybody there?
Does anybody care?
A sign of life to redefine
Is anybody there?
Cause I just need a sign of life

(A sign of life)

Can I go on, lost without a trace?
Am I afraid to hold the light and lead the way?
I may be wrong, another face without a name
But I'm alive and I can see I'm not the same

It feels so close, yet so far gone
It feels so close, but still

I'm looking for a sign of life behind the sky
Is anybody there?
Does anybody care?
A sign of life to redefine
Is anybody there?
I'm fighting for a sign of life

(I'm fighting for a sign of life)

I'm looking for a way out, cause I'm way out and I'm on my own
I'm looking for a way out, cause I'm way out and I'm on my own
I'm looking for a way out, cause I'm way out and I'm on my own
I'm looking for a way out, cause I'm way out

I'm looking for a sign of life behind our eyes
Is anybody there? Does anybody care?

A sign of life to redefine
Is anybody there?
Does anybody care?
A sign of life behind our eyes
Is anybody there?
I'm fighting for a sign of life

(A sign, a sign)
(A sign, a sign)

Oxygen lyrics - Crown The Empire

The chemicals
I think they're telling us we're not alone
The molecules
They're taking shape until we let them go

Breathe you in, breathe you out
When it's all too much
Breathe you in, breathe you out
You're my one true drug

I can hardly wait to float above the angels
I'm high again off your oxygen
Calling in the dark, you pull me through the stars
I'm so high again off your oxygen

There's something changing inside the way I see
The air I thought that I needed is just a memory
So captivated inside a world we dream

Breathe you in, breathe you out
When it's all too much
Breathe you in, breathe you out
You're my one true drug

I can hardly wait to float above the angels
I'm high again off your oxygen
Calling in the dark, you pull me through the stars
I'm so high again

The chemicals
I think they're telling us we're not alone
The chemicals
I think they're telling us we're not alone

I can hardly wait to float above the angels
I'm high again off your oxygen
Calling in the dark, you pull me through the stars
I'm so high again off your oxygen

Kaleidoscope lyrics - Crown The Empire

Say hello to the night
Let order and chaos fill your eyes
Brave the fear in your mind
Walk into the afterlight

Afterlight [x4]

The colors fly like gold in my hands
With open eyes, I'm starting again
Before you go, I think you should know
The world is your kaleidoscope

Break the sequence of hate
There's nowhere but up to go, so follow close
And you'll see the dawn of an age
Where pillars have turned to stone, and martyrs pave the way

The colors fly like gold in my hands
With open eyes, I'm starting again
Before you go, I think you should know
The world is your kaleidoscope

The colors fly like gold in my hands
With open eyes, I'm starting again
Before you go, I think you should know
The world is your kaleidoscope
Kaleidoscope

Afterlight [x4]

Say hello to the night
Let order and chaos fill your eyes

For Days lyrics - Crown The Empire

When you find what you love let it go
When you find what you love let it go
Don't wait
Don't wait

When you're lost in the tide, then you know
You can swim but you're not gonna know
The way
The way

All this time I just smiled
Held my fist and closed my eyes
Told myself we'd be just fine
Caught in a haze of blurry lines for days
For days

Do we find who we are in the cold?
Do we fight when there's no one to love?
There's a calm in your eyes when you know
That you're floating above the unknown

All this time I just smiled
Held my fist and closed my eyes
Told myself we'd be just fine
Caught in a haze of blurry lines for days
For days
For days
For days

Mercury lyrics - Crown The Empire

It's never too late
It's never too late to let go of all that you know
You're never the same
You're never the same when you find the highs and the lows
A lonely reminder, a lonelier message
It will swallow you whole

I'm not okay, I'm not okay this time
I'm gonna break, I'm gonna break tonight
No one can see the world I see
The ground below me starts to sing
No one can see the world I see
I'm not okay anyway

You're bending the road
You're bending the road when you hide and wait for a sign
The answers await
The answers await when you find the fear in your mind
But if I could find you, you know I would take you
I would swallow you whole

I'm not okay, I'm not okay this time
I'm gonna break, I'm gonna break tonight
No one can see the world I see
The ground below me starts to sing
No one can see the world I see

I never closed my eyes
I never turned away
But I did this on my own
I did this on my way own
I never closed my eyes
I wanted everything
Now I know it's all my fault
My fault

I'm not okay, I'm not okay this time
I'm gonna break, I'm gonna break tonight
No one can see the world I see
The ground below me starts to sing
No one can see the world I see
I'm not okay anyway


"The Resistance: Rise Of The Runaways" (2014)

Call To Arms (Act I) lyrics - Crown The Empire

Dear citizens of the New Fallout,
For too long, our society has succumbed to the tyranny of our own actions
Wars, riots, we have tolerated the scum
And have graciously cleaned up the mess.
Well, no more!
You have all been a consequence of the disease known as freedom,
And now it is time to take that freedom away!
As of today, you will be stripped of your identity,
And anything you hold dear in life
For it is your individuality that has led to your destruction.
Your children will be left to rot as punishment for your indiscretion,
And the lives you have lived until now will be nothing but a memory.
This is for the survival of the race!
This is for the New Fallout!
This is the end!

In the darkest night, the faintest light is blinding.
In the darkest night, the faintest light is blinding.

For my fallen stars,
Bannermen ready for your call to arms.
And for my broken hearts,
It's time to take back what we thought we'd lost.

For my fallen stars,
Bannermen ready for your call to arms.
And for my broken hearts,
It's time to take back what we thought we'd lost.

This is the resistance!
It's a call to arms,
The anthem for all those who don't belong.
We're here to take our stand.

This is the resistance!
It's been far too long,
That we've put all our faith in to the corrupt.

It's time to start the end!

Initiation lyrics - Crown The Empire

Welcome new recruits to your evaluation and initiation course.
This system is designed to test your survival and critical thinking skills in Aeon City.
Please adjust the volume and do not move.

Welcome.
To the resistance.

I've been a victim.
I've been a coward hiding underneath my pain.
I've been immobilized and watched the system destroy everything I love.
We cannot take this.
We must resist this.

Who will you follow when the world fades to grey?
Where can I turn when the world gives up on me?

I keep waiting in the dark for someone to come and save me and I've been holding on to something I could never change.
We all search for higher ground when the world comes crashing down, but I know nobody will come in to the dark and save me.

With iron claws and casted hearts.
I feel my fear just fall apart.
I'm melted down to clear my past and then I'm forged from fires so that I may ask:

Who will you follow when the world fades to grey?
Where can I turn when the world gives up on me?

I keep waiting in the dark for someone to come and save me and I've been holding on to something I can never change.
We all search for higher ground when the world comes crashing down, but I know nobody will come in to the dark and save me.

All new recruits.
We have been surrounded by scarecrows.
This is not a drill.
I repeat: this is not a drill.
Runaway status is active to all new recruits starting immediately.
System failure.

Look what they've done to us.
Look what they've done to us.
Look what they've done to us.

I've grown so sick of hiding; it's time to reclaim what's ours.
They try to say what we'll become and rearrange the stars.
I know I'm sick and fucking tired of this mess they've made.
So let their arrows block the sun.
We will fight under the shade.

Welcome to the resistance.

I keep waiting in the dark for someone to come and save me and I've been holding on to something I can never change.
We all search for higher ground when the world comes crashing down, but I know:
Nobody will come in to the dark and save me.

I keep waiting in the dark for someone to come and save me and I've been holding on to something I can never change.
We all search for higher ground when the world comes crashing down, but I know:
Nobody will come in to the dark and save me.

Who will you follow when the world fades to grey?
(When the world fades to grey)
Where can I turn when the world gives up on me?
(When the world gives up on me)

Millennia lyrics - Crown The Empire

Hey there, shadow,
You didn't seem to care at all when you watched me go.
I know young love is just a dream,
We were only seventeen,
But you're the only love I've known.

So please just let me go if you're done
'Cause it's hope that kills this heart.
So please set me free, kill the spark.

I've been gone from this world for what seems like millennia,
Looking for nothing short of a miracle.
I only ever wanted to come home.
Please won't you let me go?
When I have nowhere left I can run away
Will you lie to me, tell me I'll be okay?
Close my eyes and lay me in my tomb.
Then pull the trigger and send me home.

So how did I get so far from my yesterdays?
Another broken heart now just a memory.
I should've left you in the dark,
I should've left this awful town
And never found out how to love.

So I don't wanna know about the things that you regret now that we're dead and over and done.
Get away from me and leave my heart under the rug.

I've been gone from this world for what seems like millennia
Looking for nothing short of a miracle
I only ever wanted to come home,
Please won't you let me go?
When I have nowhere left I can run away,
Will you lie to me, tell me I'll be okay?
Close my eyes and lay me in my tomb.
Then pull the trigger and send me home.

So send me home!

I've been gone from this world for what seems like millennia
Looking for nothing short of a miracle
I only ever wanted to come home,
So won't you let me go?
When I have nowhere left I can run away,
Will you lie to me, tell me I'll be okay?
Close my eyes and lay me in my tomb.
Then pull the trigger and send me...

Machines lyrics - Crown The Empire

We hold on to the lies to feel free,
So shackled by smiles, so empty.
We're scared of the war, so we've forgotten who we are.
We've traded in hope for safety, we're raised in the smoke,
Insisting that we're all too tired to light the fire,
And shake the earth.

But if all we are is just machines, then let's become a miracle
And break free from these chains.
We must be more than just machines,
So let them hear our hearts, so let them hear our hearts.
So let them hear our hearts, so let them hear our hearts!

Yeah!

Where will you run when there's no place left for you to hide?
When you're faced with the flood, will you stand for the future,
And swallow your pride?

Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who dares to dream!
I scream at the top of my lungs, I hope that I'm proven wrong!

But if all we are is just machines, then let's become a miracle
And break free from these chains.
We must be more than just machines, so let them hear our hearts
So let them hear our hearts!

Where will you run when there's no place left for you to hide?
When you're faced with the flood, will you stand for the future,
And swallow your pride?

Where will you run when there's no place left for you to hide?
When you're faced with the flood, will you stand for the future,
And swallow your pride?

If all we are is just machines, then we must be the cogs,
Inside the wheels of change.
We must be more than just machines,
We can't afford to hide.
We must embrace the pain.

If all we are is just machines, then we must be the cogs,
Inside the wheels of change.
We must be more than just machines,
We can't afford to hide.
We must embrace the pain.

The Wolves Of Paris (Act II) lyrics - Crown The Empire

When the days had grown shortest, and the leaves all died.
When life became scarce and all was covered in ice.
There lived a pack of wolves against every odd.
That grew hungry and tired and needed to hunt.

They'd sneak in to the towns in the dead of the night.
And seek fire for comfort and warmth in the light.
And though they weren't evil, and knew it was wrong.
They couldn't escape, the lust for the blood.

MNSTR lyrics - Crown The Empire

I am the ghost in the shadows
I am the fear of the dark
I am the murderer of apathy
An angel that's fallen

I am the psycho the sinner
I am what you can't escape
I am the splinter underneath your skin
I am a monster

With a bang
I feel my heart start to separate
The enemy within
Can no longer be contained

I'm running from myself
There's something inside of me
And it's ripping a hole through my chest

I spit the fire from my lungs
The creature I buried
Is now the beast that I've become
We pretend that we can be somebody else
But heaven's judgments nothing when
You're already in hell

So take these broken wings
They'll just slow me down
(I'll never be the same, I'll never be the same)
And take my fragile heart
They'll just tear it out
(This is the end of broken me)

They call me to the lights

I am the ghost in the shadows
I am the fear of the dark
I am the murderer of apathy
The angel that's fallen

I am the psycho the sinner
I am what you can't escape
I am the splinter underneath your skin
I am a monster

I feel so god damn tired
And I can't escape the things I've lost
The cycle repeats and repeats
And I can't turn the fucking power off

I hate the things that I'm not
And I'm sick of how this has to end
I tried to reason with you
But now all of you are fucking dead

I am the living dead
I am the living dead
I walk through hell alone
And none of you can save me now

So take these broken wings
They'll just slow me down
(I'll never be the same, I'll never be the same)
And take my fragile heart
They'll just tear it out
(This is the end of broken me)

They call me to the lights
Their voices just like thunder
They call me to the lights
But I am already gone, what have I done?

I am the ghost in the shadows
I am the fear of the dark
I am the murderer of apathy
An angel that's fallen

I am the psycho the sinner
I am what you can't escape
I am the splinter underneath your skin
I am a monster

Second Thoughts lyrics - Crown The Empire

Sh...

I hear the static drawing nearer, there's no way out.
I breathe the ice and let the fire die.
They keep on feeding me the chemicals I need to breathe,
But how can something so important not belong to me?
I can't pretend like I'm the one who's gonna change this but all I know is that our time is running out.

I get so tired lighting fires when I know we still have so much further left we could go.

So how much longer must I wait to fill this emptiness?
I've made mistakes and had my dreams slip through the cracks.
I've seen such hate surround me inside of this dark abyss
But all this pain just makes me certain that there's love for me to find on brighter paths.

And out of the dust I see the light creep in and I know it won't be long.
But I'm still terrified 'cause at least in the dark no one else can see who you really are.
So bring me, raise up your guns
And blame me for all of your wrongs.
It seems hate is all I have left, yeah, it's all I have left, it's the only thing that's left in me.

I get so tired lighting fires when I know we still have so much further left we could go.

So how much longer must I wait to fill this emptiness?
I've made mistakes and had my dreams slip through the cracks.
I've seen such hate surround me inside of this dark abyss
But all this pain just makes me certain that there's love for me to find on brighter paths.

So when you feel like you're falling under, holding on to the things you thought you loved.
Will you let all of the things you've run from chew you up and spit you out?
(there's so much now)

I get so tired lighting fires when I know we still have so much further left we could go. [2x]

So how much longer must I wait to fill this emptiness?
I've made mistakes and had my dreams slip through the cracks.
I've seen such hate surround me inside of this dark abyss
But all this pain just makes me certain that there's love for me to find on brighter paths (find on brighter paths)

Don't be scared, we'll see the lights go out...

Maniacal Me lyrics - Crown The Empire

When color starts to fade everything you see is tainted grey.
As hope drains from your veins.
Fear will slowly takes it's place.
Feel the charge rush down your spine.
Every hair stands on end, in shock of your own mind.
Lost in the sound of the pounding hearts.
The wires have shorted, the circuits gone dark.
All it takes is a spark.

The masquerade.
Is lit ablaze surrounding me as fear consumes my soul.
There's a maniac within taking hold of me again.
No place left for me to hide behind the eyes of a maniac.
I'm a fucking maniac.

Scarlet drapes my eyes the phantom calls from deep inside.
Revealing my disguise the freak beneath has come to life.
Suffering is all I'm wanting.
You've been chosen for my haunting.

The masquerade.
Is lit ablaze surrounding me.
As fear consumes my soul.
There's a maniac within taking hold of me again.
No place left for me to hide behind the eyes of a maniac.
I'm a maniac, I'm a maniac, I'm a maniac.

I am the bane of your existence.
Feeble are all your attempts at resistance.
Stealing your sanity, watching you rot.
Just lying in wait, ready or not.
Here I come.
You stare in the mirror and the evil you see is the menace within you that you have set free.
Unleashing the beast brings the freedom you seek but there's no escaping maniacal me.

Satellites (Act III) lyrics - Crown The Empire

Am I too desperate?
Too caught up in all the noise?
Do I mean nothing?
Another angry voice?
Did I even have a choice?
Did I only make things worse?
Am I just another angry voice?
But then I hear their hearts sing
(Ayy ayy oh ayy oh ayy oh)
Then I hear their hearts sing
(Ayy ayy oh ayy oh ayy oh)

Will you remember me after the lights go out?
Will you remember me after the sun goes down and down and down?
And when I'm worried can I

Look up to the satellites and hear
Them call your name
Then I'll know
I can't be the only star in the world
That's trying to burn
So look up to the satellites and hear them call your name
They're singing
Ayy ayy oh ayy oh ayy oh
Ayy ayy oh ayy oh ayy oh
And I'll know that I'm never alone
(Ayy ayy oh ayy oh ayy oh)

Rise Of The Runaways lyrics - Crown The Empire

On trial for our fates,
we are The Runaways.
Outta place with mistakes we never made,
because, all we are
to anyone is just a Runaway.
So fate found a day to take it all away.
Cut down and encased inside a cage.
Because all we are
To anyone is just a Runaway.

Well if the waters so deep,
Then why are all of you still standing?
And if the sinner's asleep
Then how can I rattle his cage?
I'm so sick of these dark days chasing me further under ground,
But I'll find my way to light,
And you'll find your own demise.

We were not born the enemy,
and we will not stop for anything!
So try to tell me all the things that I've done wrong.
This fire will burn until we fall!

Well how am I supposed to feel like everything will be okay,
When you try to suffocate
What little is left of me?
So fuck off you've dug your grave and I will be just fine,
Cuz I'll find my way to light,
It's always been here inside!

We were not born the enemy
and we will not stop for anything!
So try to tell me all the things that I've done wrong.
This fire will burn until we fall!
So try to live with the things that you've done,
and try to take all the things that I've loved.
You won't break me, I will rise above.
This fire will burn until we fall!

Run, run, running,
I keep running,
I keep on running, away.
Run, run, running,
I keep running,
I keep on running, away.
Run, run, running,
I keep running,
I keep on running, away.

On trial for our fates,
we are The Runaways.
Outta place with mistakes we never made,
because, all we are
to anyone is just a Runaway.
So fate found a day to take it all away.
Cut down and encased inside a cage.
Because all we are
Is just a Runaway!

We were not born the enemy
and we will not stop for anything!
So try to tell me all the things that I've done wrong.
This fire will burn until we fall!
So try to live with the things that you've done,
and try to take all the things that I've loved.
You won't break me, I will rise above.
This fire will burn until we fall!

Run, run, running,
I keep running,
I keep on running, away!
Run, run, running,
I keep running,
I keep on running, away!
Run, run, running,
I keep running,
I keep on running, away!
I keep on running away!
I keep on running away!
I keep on running!

Bloodline lyrics - Crown The Empire

(Ohah, ooahooah)
(Oohaah ehaheahah)

Rise!

You took a part of me.
I've wasted all this time just giving up.
The revolution's starting,
Why don't you try and stop it.
We've lost control of our minds.
You think we're giving in?
It's time to prove yourself.
So let the battle begin.
Oh!
We're not the same kids you used to know.
So you wanna play this dangerous game?
Well, we're ready to go.
(Yeah we're ready to fucking go!)

So at the end of the world.
Let's let em hear us say;
We are, we are, we are- the creatures that you've hunted.
We are we are, we are- the ghosts of hope you've killed.
Stand up, stand up, stand up,- we're taking back tomorrow.
Become become become- become the cog and crown.

(Ohah, ooahooah)
(Oohaah ehaheahah)

You think you're done with me?
Like you can light the match and not get burned?
We are the kids you love to hate.
The ones that never learned,
To be part of the system.
We were born to tear shit inside out.
So sharpen your teeth,
And ready your guns,
The Revolution starts now.

We've already died if we give in to everything they ask.
So become more tonight.
We are your bloodline.

We've already died if we give in to everything they ask.
So become more tonight.
We are your bloodline,

Unleash Hell!

This is your bloodline, bloodline.
We are your, we are your lifeline, lifeline.

This is your bloodline, bloodline.
We are your, we are your lifeline, lifeline.
So let them hear us say;

We are we are we are- the creatures that you've hunted.
We are we are we are- the ghosts of hope you've killed.
Stand up stand up stand up- we're taking back tomorrow.
Become become become- become the cog and crown.

We are we are- the creatures that you've hunted.
We are we are- the ghosts of hope you've killed.
Stand up stand up stand up- we're taking back tomorrow.
Become become become- become the cog and-

(Ohah, ooahooah)
(Oohaah ehaheahah)

Become the cog and-

(Oohaah ehaheahah)

The Phoenix Reborn lyrics - Crown The Empire

Trademark the revolution
Swallow your sin and bury your soul
This is your retribution
The end of all that you know

We come as we are
We are what you're not
We come as we are
We are what you're not

So let the fire rise!

Run, you can't escape me
I am the air that fills your lungs
Fall, you are the disease
But I'm immune to all you've done

Take back what's ours, take back
We're taking back this world

So say your goodbyes
We're at an all out war
The world won't survive
But I'll chose how I die tonight
So say you're alive one last time

And let the fire rise
Rise, rise, rise
Wipe the ashes from your eyes and rise, rise, rise
Every end is a start's disguise

We're holding on to tomorrow
The day our flag will ascend
We are the voice of the hollow
We are the start of your end
We are the start of your end!

So say your goodbyes
We're at an all out war
The world won't survive
But I'll chose how I die tonight
So say you're alive one last time

And let the fire rise!
Rise, rise, rise
'Cause we chose how we die tonight

Johnny's Rebellion lyrics - Crown The Empire

I start to levitate
I feel the air beneath my wings
I hear my pulse
I taste the air I breathe
I touch the ground
I see the end and I feel whole again

I hear the echoes of a world I'd left behind
I taste the victory I thought I'd never find
I touch the ground but it's slipping away
From me and now I can't see it
I can't see anything, somebody out there, please help me, ah!

Oh Johnny!

Wake the fuck up
It's your big day
Wouldn't want to keep all those angry souls waiting, now would you?

This is the story of Johnny's group of misfits taking on the Devil himself
Welcome to Hell

I can't believe it was a dream
I walked the surface
Breathed the air then found myself back underneath
It must've been a sign
It's time to take back what was mine
I am alive

So it's time that I bid you farewell
I'll sign my release with your blood
You can't keep me trapped in this hell
I won't ever call this my tomb
The place where your soul's sent to die
Is the place where my purpose was found
I'm taking control of my life
And I'm raising an army from hell
And I'm burning this place to the ground

First I'll take the things he loves
Make him feel defeated, make him feel defeated
Then I'll take his fucking heart
Make him watch you eat it, make them watch you eat it
I can't remain here, I'm taking control
So string 'em out, and bare his bones
I'm taking back my soul

You think you can run?
You think you can hide?
No! I'm done hiding!
I challenge you to fight me to the death

So it's time that I bid you farewell
I'll sign my release with your blood
You can't keep me trapped in this hell
I won't ever call this my tomb
The place where your soul's sent to die
Is the place where my purpose was found
I'm taking control of my life
And I'm raising an army from hell
And I'm burning this place to the ground

So it seems it's my time
Fate has brought me to now
With armies aligned
We brace for the sound
Of ten thousand souls fighting for air
The chance to live again
So ready your guns, prepare for the end
'Cause the last thing that you'll hear is
"Off with his head!"

With the force of ten thousand guns
I destroy everything you built
Corner you with nowhere to run
Then I tear your black heart straight out of your chest

I took his crown of fire
And I crushed it with my hands
I came, I saw, and I conquered

So did you miss me?
Well here's my farewell
I'm crazier than I ever fucking was
I'm king of the dead and the damned
I thought that this day'd never come
But why should you sinners be saved?
You wouldn't be free without me
I'm your leader, your savior, your king
And I don't think that I'm ready to leave

So gather ye demons, it seems it's your day
I sin but I've paid more than ten thousand graves
And though we're the damned we're so far from alone
So let's bury the hatchet inside of their skulls

Prisoners Of War lyrics - Crown The Empire

Am I the prisoner?!

I am a ghost, but only if you remember
so save your prayers and promises for something better
My hands are tied, stuck in this room forever
I scream but only echoes care to answer

We waged our war, but failed to find our hope
We made our world, but lost our way back home
Will we fight through the storm or stay forever more
The prisoners of war
Am I the prisoner?

I sold my soul
And traded my wings for glory
But when I close my eyes I hear the angels sing to me
(I hear the angels sing to me)

We waged our war, but failed to find our hope
We made our world, but lost our way back home
Will we fight through the storm or stay forever more
The prisoners of war
Am I the prisoner?

We live to exist
But are we alive?
We can't run away
How will we survive?
I'm losing my grip
I can't wait to die

There's no more words for what I've done!
I find myself behind the sun!

We have to die
To feel like we're alive

We waged our war, but failed to find our hope
We made our world, but lost our way back home
Will we fight through the storm or stay forever more
The prisoners of war
Am I the prisoner?!

I am a ghost
but only a few remember
I am a ghost
but only a few remember
Will you remember me?!

Cross Our Bones lyrics - Crown The Empire

Are we tangled in the static
Are we echoes of ourselves
Are we standing in the shadows
Waiting for angels?
Does the whole world know
Does the whole world know
That we’ve synthesized our souls
Does the whole world know
That the whole world’s waiting for angels
Waiting for angels
So here we stand in the mirror
It’s getting harder to see
Colors start disappearing
Did we forget how to bleed?
We cross our bones
For miracles
And pray we get better
They say we’ll get better
We fill the holes with chemicals
They say we get better
Who cares if we’re never alive
We cross our bones
We cross our bones
Are we drifting in to silence
Mesmerized but overwhelmed
Have we made the heavens useless
Waiting for angels?
Enough
Don’t let the illusion have your heart
Does the whole world know
Does the whole world know
That we’ve synthesized our souls
Does the whole world know
That the whole world’s waiting for angels
We cross our bones
For miracles
And pray we get better
They say we’ll get better
We fill the holes with chemicals
They say we get better
Who cares if we’re never alive

"The Fallout" (2012)

Oh, Catastrophe lyrics - Crown The Empire

Oh, sweet catastrophe
Where have you been?
I've looked for you so desperately
Inside of this pen
You're the answer I've needed
The question I've feared
I know light is your mother
But darkness I fear

Sits inside of you silently
Just waiting to crawl
It's way back to the surface
Like an infected scar
I feel balance is over
The balance is gone
Please somebody save us
Please somebody come

Oh, catastrophe
Leave me to fade out the light
And uncage the night

The Fallout lyrics - Crown The Empire


I felt my heart rate begin... to...
Choke out the fucking noise like I was cursed
It felt like storms were directly overhead
And where I went it poured

And in a flash came the flood
That washed over my eyes
Now I could see inside the room of the blind
I lost myself inside
And as I fell into the black I left my past to die

Tonight we'll sail to the edge of the world
And watch the stars fall down
You'll put your head in my arms as we wonder
Is there anything we could have done

Why not try starting revolution,
And in the morning find a new sunrise?
Tonight we'll sail to the edge of the world
And watch the stars fall down

As our world ignites

What will we do? Will we sit back and watch
I'm sick of apathy dictating how I think and how I
Talk, I'd like to know as I lay down to die
I still control the way I think, before they make up my mind

As I gaze up towards the sky
I feel lost in the world of the blinding lights
We all hope to reach these heights
But we're all so afraid of the fall

No one will take the fall
We're all so comfortable with living in our sheltered holes
No one will take the fall
But if we try to we could all change the world

Tonight we'll sail to the edge of the world
And watch the stars fall down
You'll put your head in my arms as we wonder
Is there anything we could have done

Why not try starting revolution
And in the morning find a new sunrise
Tonight we'll sail to the edge of the world
And watch the stars fall down

As our world ignites

We are gathered here today as brothers and sisters not bound by fate, but by the understanding that our survival lies only in harmony.

We have only one life to live
And then we're cast in to the night,

Will you carry the torch and be the keeper of the light?

Or will you let darkness fall?
Or will you let darkness fall!?

Tonight we'll sail to the edge of the world
Tonight we'll sail to the edge of the world

Tonight we'll sail to the edge of the world
And watch the stars fall down
You'll put your head in my arms as we wonder
Is there anything
Is there anything

Memories Of A Broken Heart lyrics - Crown The Empire

As I stare into these ruins made by man
I tremble as I realize it's the end
More and more I wonder what we could have done
But instead we wage a war that can't be won
Yeah instead we wage a war that can't be won

I stand on the ash of all I've ever loved
Memories of a broken heart
Now I'm alone in the dark.

I know there's a way out when all hope is gone
Find your light in a new dawn
But there's no way to do this on our own

I search for solace in this waste
That I once called home
But my attempts of piecing life together leaves me alone
I can't repair what's been done
When the sky is as black as the ground that I walk on

But I can't give up on this
I have to wonder what we could have done
I have to wonder
But instead we wage a war that can't be won

I stand on the ash of all I've ever loved
Memories of a broken heart
Now I'm alone in the dark.

I know there's a way out when all hope is gone
Find your light in a new dawn
But there's no way to do this on our own.

You think that this is the end?
You're wrong
This is the start of a new generation

I stand on the ash of all I've ever loved
Memories of a broken heart
Now I'm alone in the dark

I know there's a way out when all hope is gone
Find your light in a new dawn
But there's no way to do this on our own.

Makeshift Chemistry lyrics - Crown The Empire

A lesson learned is easier said than done
when you're living in a world without the sun
My mind keeps struggling to remember

I wish I could find a way to make up for all that I've done
I know the choice was mine but can you blame me?

Yeah, the choice was all mine,
But I never thought that I'd be the last man standing alone.
I miss you here by my side
But, darling, I can't help but feel like love has died

Operator is there anybody at all
that can explain why I'd give everything and more up for her?
I know it's unbelievable but something 'bout her I can't resist
but she doesn't even know I exist

So, yeah, I pulled the plug but I swore the spark would still be there
Buried beneath the promises and lies

We suffocated in all our own filth
I swear I only wanted what was best but you just left

I was just lonely
you were in love
But now it seems
that the table's have turned
and I feel so alone.

yeah, the choice was all mine,
But I never thought that I'd be the last man standing alone.
I miss you here by my side
But, darling, I can't help but feel like, love has died.

Operator is there anybody at all
that can explain why I'd give everything and more up for her?
I know it's unbelievable but something 'bout her I can't resist
but she doesn't even know I exist

Darling, won't you forgive me?
I'm just looking for a little bit of love in this heartbreak city
Darling, won't you forgive me?
I'm looking for a little bit of love but she doesn't even know I exist

All I wanted was to be your love
But now you've left and I cannot fill the void

All I wanted was to be your love
But now I'm finally moving on

Ha ha ha ha, I don't give a fuck.

I waited all this time to watch you jump out of my life
If I knew you'd only wanted me for just a single night
I would've left and never returned
but you had to beg me to fall in again
and now I'm just your slave

Operator is there anybody at all
that can explain why I gave everything and more up for her?
I know I sound so gullible but something 'bout her just drew me in...
But that bitch don't even notice me.

Operator is there anybody at all
that can explain why I'd give everything and more up for her?
I know it's unbelievable but something 'bout her I can't resist
but she doesn't even know I exist

Darling, won't you forgive me?
I'm just looking for a little bit of love in this heartbreak city
Darling, won't you forgive me?
I'm looking for a little bit of love but she doesn't even know I exist!

The One You Feed lyrics - Crown The Empire

In the wake of my broken dreams
In the dirt and the dust and the days that felt like weeks.
I found the person that I'm meant to be

'Cause when I felt like giving up
When death was closing in
I shut my eyes
And black out the darkness with light from inside

I've given more
Than what I've got
I've given all
Of what I'm not
I've watched this war consume all that we could become

Facing my fears in the dark

But if I die
Before it's done
Please take these words
My final thoughts
The only way to shine your light is in the dark.
Never let life kill your spark

This is the fallout
Yeah it's the end of the world
We'll spread the noise to everyone and let them all know you heard
A system meltdown
It's time we expose
The 'cause of chaos is our own

I've given more
Than what I've got
I've given all
Of what I'm not
I've watched this war consume all that we could become

Facing my fears in the dark

But if I die
Before it's done
Please take these words
My final thoughts
The only way to shine your light is in the dark.
Never let life kill your spark

Never let life kill your spark
Never let life kill your spark
Facing my fears in the dark

I've given more
Than what I've got
I've given all
Of what I'm not
I've watched this war consume all that we could become

If I die
Before it's done
Please take these words
My final thoughts
The only way to shine your light is in the dark.
Never let life kill your spark

Never let life kill your spark

Menace lyrics - Crown The Empire

Someday in this dark place
One will step into the light
And expose you for what you really are

Why am I the one who just keeps on running?
Why am I surrounded by shadows of my doubt?
I search for some sort of solace
But I am a man with no light to guide me out

Why must I run?
Why must I hide?
I'd rather be living in hell
Than never have lived with nothing to tell

So when you end up on your own
With just your pillow to hold tight
Please know
There's no reason to be afraid
'Cause if they black out the sun
And your blood turns to dust
I'll follow you into your grave

A menace, a monster
The thing that haunts your dreams
A nightmare, my comfort
I'll thrive on all your tears

I don't know what you take me for

Why must I run?
Why must I hide?
I'd rather be living in hell
Than never have lived alone

So when you end up on your own
With just your pillow to hold tight
Please know
There's no reason to be afraid
'Cause if they black out the sun
And your blood turns to dust
I'll follow you into your grave

So when you're shattered and you're broke
Without someone to hold on to
Just know I'll always be there close behind
And if you're able to love
When it's all said and done
Then I swear we'll all be fine

This won't be my last breath
You can't take my life away

You're just a worthless
Good for nothing fuck

Good for nothing fuck

Why must I run?
Why must I hide?
I'd rather be living in hell
Than never have lived alone

So when you end up on your own
With just your pillow to hold tight
Please know
There's no reason to be afraid
'Cause if they black out the sun
And your blood turns to dust
I'll follow you into your grave

So when you're shattered and you're broke
Without someone to hold on to
Just know I'll always be there close behind
And if you're able to love
When it's all said and done
Then I swear we'll all be fine

Graveyard Souls lyrics - Crown The Empire

We sit atop of a
Broken world
We are not holy we are
Graveyard souls

In the midst of all the chaos we are so quick to place the blame
On what we don't understand
Our brothers and sisters that don't share our name

The echoes of this desperate world
Fill up my lungs like I'm reborn
Let's find strength in the unfamiliar
And hold that truth close to our heart
Shut your eyes
And let life restart

Love is an abandoned thought

What is the point of this, if hate's what we rely on?
What is the point?

I don't see truth in their lies
I see the blood shed
A mask-less disguise
And countless of lives

Destroyed by a world
Created by men
When will it end?
When will it end?

Only you and I
Have a chance to make our wrongs in to rights
And heaven knows I've plenty I've done wrong
But only I can choose what I become

When the Lightning strikes
And we blindly must whether the world through the door
Just shut your eyes
And remember you're never alone

Hope is what we hold on to
When fear is all that we know
If darkness and heaven are both in existence
I promise there's somewhere to go.

I can't see what's wrong with living for myself
Question your thoughts

And free yourself from what you think that you're not
There's always somewhere else to go

There's always somewhere else to go

Two's Too Many lyrics - Crown The Empire

Sweet love of mine
Why keep on breaking your back in two
Just to prove you're all right
Just give it up
Why keep on coming
When I only want to break your heart

You've lost your mind
Why aren't you able to just move on
And get a grip on your life
Quit holding on
To all the things that I've regretted
For far too long

You have got to realize what we've been through
And know we have only one life
And too little time
And I've wasted it all on you

Please please darling won't you leave me alone
I'm tired of living in this heartbreak home
I try and try and try
To get you out of my life
But I can't seem shake this vice

My lovesick valentine
Why keep on trying to tame this heart
When you know it's a lie

You're lost in your own self-demise
It's about time to open your eyes

And see yourself for what you are
I'm sick of being just another scar
That you carve into your pitch-black heart
I'm begging please won't you prove me wrong.

Please, please darling won't you leave me alone

Please, please darling won't you leave me alone
I'm tired of living in this heartbreak home
I try and try and try
To get you out of my life
But I can't seem shake this vice

Grip that you call true love
I can't believe I gave up everything you're like a drug
I try and try and try
To get out of my life
But I can't seem shake this vice

Leave my heart
I've fallen out of what you think we are

Please please darling won't you leave me alone
I'm tired of living in this heartbreak home
I try and try and try
To get you out of my life
But I can't seem shake this vice

But I can't seem shake this vice

Evidence lyrics - Crown The Empire

This is the road I chose
This is the life I've made
Say what you want but know this world opened her arms for me

I write these words in blood
I write these words for you
This world deserves to finally know the...

Your arrogance blinds you
Why don't you open your mind
And listen to the words
That could save your life

We all grow tired of
What we think we know
But at the end of the day
We have to choose where our paths go

Decide at the fork in the road
Decide at the fork in the road

Just so you know we'll never go under
Please tell me, please tell me
Please try and tell me I'm wrong

You say we follow along
Well now follow along
To these words I say
They're all I have.
To open the door that could never be cracked.

Please try to tell me I'm wrong
And say I'll never belong
Because all your hate
Won't wear me down
I'll still be the last one left wearing the crown

You think we're hopeless and lost
You think we're just fucking pawns
But we will never be
No we will never be

I lie awake and dream of how we will change the world, change the world!
It's up to us to fill in the cracks
And bring this world back to what it could have been

It's up to us, it's up to us

You say we follow along
Well now follow along
To these words I say
They're all I have.
To open the door that could never be cracked.

Please try to tell me I'm wrong
And say I'll never belong
Because all your hate
Won't wear me down
I'll still be the last one left wearing the crown

You'll never find happiness while you live inside hate.
Yeah!

I write these words in blood
I write these words for you
This world deserves to finally know the truth

This is the road I chose
This is the life I've made
Say what you want but know this world opened her arms for me

Children Of Love lyrics - Crown The Empire

Sound the alarms for the end of the lie
That you've abused for far too long
We're in the hour of the fallout now
And there's nobody who can save our souls

Rise up for the things worth saving
Rise up for what we'll destroy
Rise up for something
Or you will be lost as you fade out inside of the noise

This is our wake up call

We have to pull it together
We have to save what we can
So put aside what you thought that you loved
And face the end

These bars our hearts must hold
Are only locked by those in charge of this broken world
And when their walls fall down
So will the keys to unlocking what we have never found

We are the children of love
Lost inside of this war...
We wear the scars on our hearts
But we don't know what they're for
we don't know what they're for

We are the noise of generation now.
We are the noise of generation now.
We are the noise of generation now.
We are the noise of generation now.

Oh, Yeah!

We are the noise
We are the noise

Hate
Is what we are bound by
Love
Is what will destroy
Trust
In everything selfish
Kill
What we don't deserve

I won't follow you to die
Welcome to the Fallout.

Johnny's Revenge lyrics - Crown The Empire

Ha ha ha ha
Oh well look what we have here boys
Everybody give a warm welcome to
Johnny!
Ha ha, what do you say we show Johnny a thing or two about what it's like to die.

How could this really have happened
One second life was looking up
The next I'm on my way down

I thought my story had ended.
But if this hell is where I'm trapped
Then I will seek my revenge

I've come for
Blood, blood, blood!
And I'm not leaving till I
Have your heart
You're going to pay for all that you have
Done, done, done!
I'll feel alive when I have
Blood, your blood (Blood, your blood)
Because revenge is all I haven't lost

You thought I was through
You may have killed me but now I'll come for you

You thought I was through?
Well that was far from your first mistake...

I have a twisted mind
And I have seen your fate
You think the end is close for you
When really, you're fucking late.
Your reign is over

There's no forgiveness
There's no forgiveness for all that you've done.

I've come for
Blood, blood, blood!
And I'm not leaving till I
Have your heart
You're going to pay for all that you have
Done, done, done!
I'll feel alive when I have
Blood, your blood (Blood, your blood)

Because Revenge is all I haven't lost
You've taken everything I've ever loved
So give me blood, blood, blood!
I'll feel alive when I have blood
Your blood
I want it all
I want it all

See the way
Your blood spills on the ground

But then before my eyes
He turned into a man...
I've been fooled again
I've been fooled again

You are just a slave...
You've dug your bed, deep inside of your grave.
Now slave, you will sleep
For eternity, for eternity

I've come for
Blood, blood, blood!
And I'm not leaving till I
Have your heart
You're going to pay for all that you have
Done, done, done!
I'll feel alive when I have
Blood, your blood

Because revenge is all I haven't lost
You've taken everything I've ever loved
So give me
Blood, blood, blood!
I'll feel alive when I have
Blood, your blood
I want it all!

The Glass Elevator (Walls) lyrics - Crown The Empire

Break down your walls tonight,
we're here to sing for you;
Tear down your walls tonight,
we're here to scream for you.
[2x]

Cold as ice on the darkest December
Spark a flame from a small burning ember
Trapped inside of this prison made of mirrors

As I wait for that spark to ignite me
Try to break through these walls that surround me
I'm trapped inside of this prison made of mirrors

I look to the sky
But my walls keep building higher
I'm surrounded by creations,I
Need to feel alive

I look to the sky
But the answers all around me
Oh I don't know why I have to try
To take hold of my life,

The worst part of all
Is I'm the one who holds the key
Prison of my mind
Only purpose sets me free

And I have no purpose at all
I'm floating and hoping
For something to come break my fall
I've lost my mind
I've lost it all

Now repeat after me...

I walk
I breathe
I live
A lie
[4x]

Breaking Point lyrics - Crown The Empire

It's probably just the things I do
That make me vital for you
There's a breaking point in us all

Explore the world we must
Time's just to short for the best of us
Before death comes

I will be
There for you
Even through
Thick and Thin
I will never fall
When hope is lost

And now I see
The hour hand moving faster and faster
Our time is running out
Move quick or never remember
Open your eyes and you'll see

It's probably just the things I do
That make me vital for you
There's a breaking point in us all

Explore the world we must
Time's just to short for the best of us
Before death comes

Take me away
Away from here
Because everyday
Is turning into years
With every moment
I feel deeper and deeper
My heart's a sinking ship

And now I see
The hour hand moving faster and faster
Our time is running out
Move quick or never remember
Open your eyes and you'll see

It's probably just the things I do
That make me vital for you
There's a breaking point in us all

Explore the world we must
Time's just to short for the best of us
Before death comes

Life's just too short to go and throw it away
It's all we have let's make the best of today

And now I see
The hour hand moving faster and faster

It's probably just the things I do
That make me vital for you
There's a breaking point in us all

Explore the world we must
Time's just to short even for the best of us
Before death comes

Wake Me Up lyrics - Crown The Empire

This world keeps pushing down upon me
And I keep hoping for a sweet dream

There's something left for me to see
There's something left for me to be

We can't ponder on this, world forever
You know we can save it, if together
Growing, day by day to make it
But my time's been wasted

And while my eyes are open wide, I'm sound asleep on the inside

Wake me up, from this dream that never ends
Haunting me, Haunting me till my bitter end
Wake me up, from this nightmare that I live
Something inside of me keeps on giving in

Well I keep searching for an answer
But time will never tell, and you will never know
My choices are my own, but I can't choose where I call home
This life isn't carved in stone, this life has left me on my own

And while my eyes are open wide, I'm sound asleep

Wake me up, from this dream that never ends
Haunting me, Haunting me till my bitter end
Wake me up, from this nightmare that I live
Something inside of me keeps on giving in

WAKE ME UP!

I'm wide awake
I'm not afraid anymore
I'm wide awake
It's you who helped me win this war

Wake me up, from this dream that never ends
Haunting me, Haunting me till my bitter end
Wake me up, from this nightmare that I live
Something inside of me keeps on giving in

Wake me up, from this dream that never ends
Haunting me, Haunting me till my bitter end
Wake me up, from this nightmare that I live
Something inside of me keeps on giving in

Johnny Ringo lyric - Crown The Empire

This is your time,
Your life's flashing before your eyes.
And soon enough you will realize this is goodbye,
But what if I gave you a chance?
You just have to sell your soul.

Look around, what do you see?
The choices you never had the guts to make?
I'm sorry you never could be the man that you wanted,
But regret is wasted on me.

I can feel air inside my lungs again.
All because of you.
I can rebuild my life and start again.
All because of you.

This feeling's amazing, I know.
But be careful, you know not what you wish for.
Granted life again but now you've cheated death.
There's no where to run when you run from yourself.

But fear not for as long as you live you are mine,
And even in death you will find.
You've lived with regret for so long but now,
Is your chance to change what has been wrong.

I can feel air inside my lungs again.
All because of you.
I can rebuild my life and start again.
All because of you.

And I know that my destiny wasn't written in the stars,
It was just a part of satellites and it's all because of you
And it's all because of you.

Don't ever trust the devil, bitch!

I never wanted this.
(It's time that you suffered the consequence.)
I should have known my time was up.
(I gave you your time, now your soul is mine.)

I can't feel air inside my lungs.
I'm dead.
All because of...

YOU!

All because of you!

I can't feel air inside my lungs, I'm dead!
All because of you!
I can't rebuild my life or start again,
All because of you!

All because of you!
All because of...

Voices lyrics - Crown The Empire

The voices inside my head are taking over
They're telling me that my life is in danger
I'm scared that the silence won't come back forever
I believe this is my darkest hour

I pray
Over and over again
That this won't be my end
I still have a long life to live
I'm begging you, begging you

I can't remember the last time
That I said goodbye, or that I even tried
I'm becoming afraid, it's already too late
I'm on my knees, please help me stay alive

I hope this isn't my last night
As I lose my mind, and try to save my life
I'm becoming afraid, it's already too late
I'm on my knees, please help me stay alive

It's just too much to handle
I feel myself turn into stone
Desperate, as the voices linger
There's nothing left for me, please save my soul

I'm running out of time
I can feel the words crawling down my spine
I'm running out of time

(I can't remember the last time)

I can't remember the last time
That I said goodbye, or that I even tried
I'm becoming afraid, it's already too late
I'm on my knees, please help me stay alive

I hope this isn't my last night
As I lose my mind, and try to save my life
I'm becoming afraid, it's already too late
I'm on my knees, please help me stay alive

Take my hand
Don't let me fade away
Don't let me fade away
Don't let me die today

Take my hand
I'll pray for you today
I beg to see another day
Don't let me die today

Take my hand
Don't let me fade away
Don't let me fade away
Don't let me die today

Take my hand
I'll pray for you today
I beg to see another day
Don't let me die today, die today

I can't remember the last time
That I said goodbye, or that I even tried
I'm becoming afraid, it's already too late
I'm on my knees, please help me stay alive

I hope this isn't my last night
As I lose my mind, and try to save my life
I'm becoming afraid, it's already too late
I'm on my knees, please help me stay alive

Limitless lyrics - Crown The Empire (feat. Dennis Shaforostov)

This song goes out to everyone whose felt broken
Who searched for the answer and was left in the dark
this is for you

STAND UP!

OH!

I will never be afraid, you shot me once,
I'm still standing
I will never dig my grave,
you shot me once,
I'm still standing;

And every part of me keeps screaming,
"Get on with your life, and start by leaving."
I'm trying to heal these wounds but I'm still bleeding
(I'm trying to heal these wounds but I'm still bleeding)

I've run out of all that I was
(all, I, was)
I've searched for the meaning and ended up lost,
but I see the light at the end of the road,
and it's guiding me,
(and it's guiding me)
guiding me home
(guiding me home)

I know, I no longer must walk through this world alone;
We must resist to be a part of their insolence;
We must start the resistance;
Follow no one;
I've run out of all that I was,
and I'm searchin' for the meaning and ended up lost;
But I see light at the end of the road,
it's guiding me home where I'll heal all
that has left me bleeding,
while their words still burn,
these scars are another lesson learned;

You live your life so disconnected
as you sit there mighty in your fucking little throne;
I'll see to it that all your walls crumble;
I'll tear it down stone by stone;

Bow down! I will not kneel before you!
Bow down! You're never gonna wear my crown!

You shot me once, but I'm still here!
You shot me once, but I'm still here!

This is for those who've seen the light,
we must rise, we're limitless tonight!
And though the sun may never shine, we must know,
we're limitless tonight!

This is for those who've seen the light,
we must rise, we're limitless tonight!
And though the sun may never shine, we must know,
we're limitless tonight!
We're limitless tonight!

It's time for destruction.

Lead Me Out Of The Dark lyrics - Crown The Empire

It's not quite a mystery.
I'm the one who's insecure,
you're the one that makes believe,
that we're all okay, we're doing fine,
when we're both fighting just to stay,
to stay alive,
a fragile state of mind,
that I can't quite survive.

Without a doubt, I need your help.
I know you've heard me ask before,
but come on girl, I need to tell you now,
I know what I've done wrong.

The only way out of here is the way I've avoided for all my life.
There's so many things I wanna say,
but there's too many things still in the way.
I'm lost, please help me find my place.
You're the only one, please lead me out of the dark.
Please lead me out of the dark.
Please lead me out of the dark.

I'm moving on, I'll promise change,
if you will let me in again, I swear today,
I'll be a better man.
I'll be who I was then.

It's been a long two years,
I can't change the past,
I've shed so many tears,
Can't believe I've lasted this long.
I see now that I'm wrong.

The only way out of here is the way I've avoided for all my life.
There's so many things I wanna say,
but there's too many things still in the way.
I'm lost, please help me find my place.
You're the only one, please lead me out of the dark.
Please lead me out of the dark.
