Can you remember how it used to be
We were so proud and free, so free
Strong and mighty powerful and true
Can you remember

Now all around us pestilence and greed
Famine, hate and war
It surrounds us like a black disease
Just take a look around us

In spite of every upright intention
We live and die by the sword
It’s second nature, and so the question is
Can we learn or will we burn

The fall of the empire, what have we done
The fall of the empire, it’s the dawn of the setting sun
The fall of the empire can this race be won
It’s the fall of the empire or has the end begun

Will the mountains crumble to the ground
Will the earth stand still
Will we rise a mushroom cloud
Will the mountains crumble

Can we heed a lesson from the past
And put aside our hate
Or will we blow ourselves to kingdom come
tell me is it too late

Inside of every aronination
There is hope that lies within
It’s second nature, and the question is
Can we learn or will we burn

The fall of the empire, what have we done
The fall of the empire, it’s the dawn of the setting sun
The fall of the empire can this race be won
It’s the fall of the empire or has the end begun

I am an avid Mac-user, nerd, musician, freelancer, and gamer. Ask me about my collection of M:TG cards! I've also got a horrible habit of needing the absolute newest technological wonder, whether it's stable or not. If they made a home-version of the LHC, I'd have 2. Additionally, I've been playing music for the better part of 14 years. I'm self-taught on piano, guitar, trumpet, trombone, sax, clarinet, bass, drums and other percussion, and around 10 other instruments. I also spend quite a bit of time dabbling in synthesizers, sequencers, and samplers. I'm also founder of Quotelicious where I collect and share the quotes I love.
