At the edge of the hellfire
It's the end of an empire
In the line of the gunfire
It's the end of an empire
Again
A start, an end, a rise and fall
No system eternal and no one immortal
Creation all must end in destruction
We cannot change the fate of civilization
start end rise fall
lifespan mortal
We build our symbols of power
Constructs of a mortal mind
Conquer in our brightest hour
But then we all must fall in time
Through space and time
We can't escape this paradigm
At the edge of the hellfire
It's the end of an empire
In the line of the gunfire
It's the end of an empire
Again
time love dreams death
space mind scene tech
Kingdoms, each of us reigning
Over the realms of our hearts and minds
Conscious that death is awaiting
But even death will end in time
In the death of a desire
It's the end of an empire
At the close of a lifetime
It's the end of an empire
We're falling into the unknown
Another ending thats beginning to unfold
