  • 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 Writer/s: Natalie Laura Mering
