[Intro]
You can be the one who saves yourself
Or you can watch it all go to hell

[Verse 1]
Make believe you're innocent
Hide in bunkers twice as thick
Blinded by the sun above
End the hate and start this love

[Chorus]
Empires falling, it's history on repeat
Our nations' pleading from street to bloody street

[Verse 2]
Have you no more confidences
Soldiers are your main defense
If you think you're mystical
Then save this bleeding animal

[Chorus]
Empires falling, it's history on repeat
Our nations' pleading from street to bloody street
Empires falling, it's history on repeat
Our nations' pleading from street to bloody street
[Post-Chorus]
And every time I close my eyes
They will take our youth again, kid
So never, ever look away
When you see the red

[Bridge]
Every time you sleep, I want to end you
Every time you wake, I smile at you
And every time I close my eyes
They will take our youth again, kid
So never, ever look away
When you see the red

[Outro]
You can be the one who saves yourself
Or you can watch it all go to hell
You can be the one who saves yourself
Or you can watch it all go to hell
