Empire Falls Lyrics

A cold wind is blowing
Through the graves it is blowing
And it bares a poisoned tongue
And the foul breath of deceit

I am my father's son
And his deeds
Cannot be undone... be undone

You trade in his blood
Writing your history
In the sacrifices of the dead

Where is the fighting man?
Am I he?
You would trade every truth
For hollow victories...
For hollow victories!

Every empire will fall
Every monument crumble
Forgotten men who watch, who watch the centuries

Whose silent words rise up
Rise up in betrayalPrimordial - Empire Falls - http://motolyrics.com/primordial/empire-falls-lyrics.html
And We will rise up, rise up in betrayal

Where is the fighting man?
Am I he?
You would trade every truth
For hollow victories...
For hollow victories!

Every empire falls
And the earth to ashes turn
The lands of my birth
Shall be my tomb!

And These are the lands, the lands of my birth
Soon to be ruins, the ruins of my past
And when the sky should fall
The earth to ashes turn
Then you will know, they shall be my tomb

Where is the fighting man?
I am he!
You would trade every truth
For hollow victories...
For hollow victories!
