[Chorus]
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
Again
Again
It's the end of an empire

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
(Start... end)
(Rise... fall)
(Life...span)
(Mor...tal)
(Start... end) We build our symbols of power
(Rise... fall) Constructs of a mortal mind
(Life...span) Conquer in our brightest hour
(Mor...tal) But then we all must fall in time
[Chorus]
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
Again
Again
It's the end of an empire

[Verse 3]
(Time... love)
(Dreams... death)
(Time... love) Kingdoms, each of us reigning
(Dreams... death) Over the realms of our hearts and minds
(Space... mind) Conscious that death is awaiting
(Scene... tech) But even death will end in time

[Outro]
We're falling into the unknown (it's the end)
Another ending that's beginning to unfold (it's the end)
We're falling into the unknown (it's the end)
Another ending that's beginning to unfold (it's the end of an empire)

[Bridge]
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
[Final Chorus]
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
Again
Again
It's the end of an empire
Again
Again
It's the end of an empire
