LYRICS. We have a taste for destruction A thriving earth that is built on greed So we continue production Ignoring the signs while we choke on the air we breathe
We spend our time just wasting away If we keep telling this story the ending with never change We live our lives out just out to decay So we must open our minds and see This is our home
We think we’ve come so far But this is only the start We must act now before it all falls apart
We have an air of delusion A complacent nature that hinders our progress Society in a state of infancy continues to regress
For all we know we're on our own If we keep telling this story the ending will never change For all we know we're all alone So we must open our minds and see This is our home
We think we’ve come so far But this is only the start We must act now before it all falls apart It’s not the strongest of the species that survive But that one most adapted to change This is only the start So just sit back and watch it all fall apart
A drop in the ocean A moment in time When will you open your mind This is our home
Our history still soaked in blood There’s a chance left for change We must endeavour to understand Continue on and find our place
We think we’ve come so far But this is only the start We must act now before it all falls apart It’s not the strongest of the species that survive But that one most adapted to change This is only the start So just sit back and watch it all fall apart

LYRICS. I never expected this from you To be so heartless after all this time Memories now only replaced by utter distain You'll be the one to blame
And those times we shared, were nothing but a waste of breath A waste of life, a sentence to death And those times we shared, were nothing but a waste of breath A waste of fucking breath
The sky is bright to unborn eyes, I'll strive for more this time
I will use this to conquer my demons To destroy what's left of you This place we find ourselves in, like strangers, worlds apart
Drowning in a sea of resentment I've been treading water for far too long Your face now nothing but a blurred reminder You are the one to blame
Wash away Wash away the remnants of all that once was
The sky is bright to unborn eyes, I'll strive for more this time The sky is bright to unborn eyes, A chance for a new life
I will use this to conquer my demons To destroy what's left of you This place we find ourselves in, like strangers, worlds apart
I'll pick myself up off the dirt and face this head on Set ablaze Moving forward in the ashes of the past I'll rebuild
I'll be the one with my name in lights Looking down on you, fire in my eyes With my head held up to the sky I can finally say I've left you behindEmpires Fade - Forgive / Forget (audio)empiresfade2015-08-03 | Our brand new album 'The Edge Of Existence' is OUT NOW!

Music by Mike Bennett Lyrics by Jack Delany, Mike Bennett and Tom Higgins
LYRICS How could I have been so blind, completely unaware of the lies you've told What did you gain from this? Why couldn't I see the truth Where are you now? I've come so far, there is no turning back Where are you now? I've come so far, I'm better off on my own
There was a time when I would believe (Anything you said) I looked up to you, put my faith in you You were my world, all I ever knew But now I know the truth I learned to exist without you
I can't forgive and I won't forget (All the lies i was told) I can't forgive and I won't forget (Feeling so alone) I can't forgive and I won't forget (How i was left behind) I can't forgive and I won't forget (You were unwilling to fix this)
I learned to exist without you Your absence allowed me to grow Bury me, mourn the loss Of the person you once knew
So far beyond repair You had your chance and blew it Your failures helped shape me To be, the person that i've become
I cant forgive and I wont forget
There was a time when I would believe (Anything you said) I looked up to you, put my faith in you You were my world, all I ever knew But now I know the truth I learned to exist without you
I will rise up from this. I'll do this on my own Forgetting everything that came before I'll overcome I will rise up from this. I'll do this on my own I will move on from this betrayal I will overcome
How could I have been so blind, completely unaware of the lies you've told What did you gain from this? Why couldn't I see the truth Where are you now?Empires Fade - Addendum (audio)empiresfade2015-08-03 | Our brand new album 'The Edge Of Existence' is OUT NOW! Pick it up from the following places:

LYRICS. It's so heartbreaking how easily you dedicate your life to destroying yourself They wouldn't be able to breathe without you I know you feel so alone But trust me your not on your own Get back to reality It's time to make a change
Dream without fear, love without limits It's not until we're lost that we find ourselves Hold on to hope, hold on to life It's not too late to make a change
What happened to the drive that you used to possess? You must strive to conquer the monster inside of you!
The monster inside of you!
Dream without fear, love without limits It's not until we're lost that we find ourselves Hold on to hope, hold on to life It's not too late to make a change
Dream without fear, love without limits It's not until we're lost that we find ourselves Hold on to hope and hold on to life It's not too late to make a change
So take my hand, I'll be there for you Right here for you
The time is now, to make the most of this chance This is your last chance
I'll be right here, right by your side, to guide you through the hardest of times You have to be strong, get back up on your feet before your world caves in.
Hold onto hope and your dreams won't die Hold onto love and take the time to feel alive Don't lose sight of who you are In the possibility this isn't the end of your story It's not too late, it's not too late to change your lifeEmpires Fade - Hidden Truths (audio)empiresfade2015-08-03 | Our brand new album 'The Edge Of Existence' is OUT NOW!

LYRICS. I can't remember a time where I've felt like this before Can't seem to find the words All I believe in is now, this moment Everything becomes irrelevant
As time stands still I hope this can last forever As time stands still I hope this will last forever
I've finally found my place, I finally feel at home This is what I strive for, all that I've missed for so long I've built this up in my head, placed it upon a pedestal Shadow embraced, impaired my judgement Im in love with the idea of you
The idea of you
The mask is slipping These hidden truths rise to the surface Longing to feel something But now that I do, I just want it to stop
The mask is slipping These hidden truths rise to the surface Revealing my disposition From here on out, I'll face the depths by myself
I thought I'd found my place, I finally felt at home This was what I strived for, all that I'd missed for so long I built this up in my head, placed it upon a pedestal Shadow embraced, impaired my judgement I'm in love with the idea of you
The need to feed this unquenchable thirst Never satisfied This guilt has consumed me, blindly unaware of my betrayal Since you left things have gone, from bad to worse Destined to fail right from the start I've only myself to blame
The air is thin (The air is thin) I'm unable to breathe This weight consumes me It pulls me under
The air is thin (The air is thin) I'm unable to think This weight consumes me My fate has chosen me
The mask is slipping These hidden truths rise to the surface Longing to feel something But now that I do, I just want it to stopEmpires Fade - Worlds Apart (feat Karl Schubach - audio)empiresfade2015-08-03 | Our brand new album 'The Edge Of Existence' is OUT NOW!

LYRICS. That one single moment When you feel alive for the first time And it burns so bright It feels like nothing can come close It feels unbreakable
And the world turns slow As we drown in the ether And the world turns slow As we soar above
Reaching the highest highs You and I With nothing standing in the way Until the world uncovers this betrayal The one mistake that could change it all
Sometimes we soar to the highest highs Until there's one mistake And then we fall from the highest highs And come crashing down to the lowest lows
How could this happen to us? How did I let it go this far? But when everything collapses We realise what we have
Needing the highest highs You and I Taking on all in our way The world will see us shine And we can change it all
So if the chance presents then I will take it We will make this bond, and I swear to you that I won't break it Sometimes we have to reach the end to find a new beginning For ourselves to bring us back to life
As the world turns, as the world turns slow again Soaring back to the highest highs As the world turns, as the world turns slow again We can make this ours and live foreverEmpires Fade - Eyes Wide Shut (feat Landon Tewers - audio)empiresfade2015-08-03 | Our brand new album 'The Edge Of Existence' is OUT NOW!

LYRICS. Faith is the drug of choice A pandemic, a vice like no other Leeching onto the weak Spread the word, spread the disease
Spread the disease!
An idol to millions, disciple to One A burden to many, example to none Blind faith, the product of hate Your flawed judgement shows your mind's derisory
You're living in fallacy and greatly deluded Thinking you're chosen, just hugely misguided A modern day shepherd Without consequence or self purpose
Brainwashed by blood, in the name of tradition You're unaware of the power that you possess Your Eyes Wide Shut The untold influence, upon the innocent Our blood is on His hands
Misinterpretations and mistranslations A fictional story passed down through the ages Ignorance reigns free Despite all that you see
Adapting your truths to fulfil your prophecy Unproven beliefs
Condemn me to Hell for what I don't believe 'The holder of the scripture is the breeder of hate'

LYRICS. You walk around with a false sense of worthwhile An unearned heir of self importance Constantly passing judgement on anyone that may cross your path Underserved Honour
The world will see you for what you really are
A discarded rapport lost to your many faces You've shown yourself
A concept built on plagiarism
The world will see you for what you are You're only in this for the glory
It's such a long way down When you've bought your way right to the top
And you show no respect To anyone that fucking deserves it
The world will see you for what you are You're only in this for the glory
Caught in a web of handouts and deceit (Taking the cowards way out) Wasted opportunities when others would jump at the chance
The world will see you for what you are You're only in this for the glory
You're only in this for the glory The prize at the end of the road You're only in this for the glory But this will soon fade away I'll wait with baited breathEmpires Fade - The Edge Of Existence (OFFICIAL VIDEO)empiresfade2015-08-01 | The Edge Of Existence' is OUT NOW!

LYRICS. How can you sleep at night, knowing the injustice thats all around you. Start again, (start again) you're living on the edge of existence
A life of luxury to the unworthy Selfishness and greed is all that I see Complete disregard for your surroundings You've taken all of this for granted
I gave you everything you ever needed And you just threw it all away
All around you is a dying world The war you don't see Start again
How can you sleep at night, knowing the injustice thats all around you. Start again, (start again) you're living on the edge of existence
Rationality outweighed by excessive demand Caught in a state of civil unrest Your fighting for a change in a failing system A meaningless victory for an unfit cause The population's interests invested in a finite solution
All around you is a dying world The war you don't see Start again
How can you sleep at night, knowing the injustice thats all around you. Start again, (start again) you're living on the edge of existence
Fall in line Your lack of action will be your downfall Save yourselves From this cancerous mindset forced upon you You'll soon be past the point of no return Forget everything that came before, when will you learn?

LYRICS. I need to, get this off my chest I’ve been silent for far too long I’ve had it up, right up to my neck with all of your discriminations and fabrications
You are the ones That fight freedom with fire In the name of a faceless creator You are so deluded, you think That you, have a purpose You know what they say Ignorance is bliss.
I need too, get this off my chest The life you lead, by the book, a work of fiction This is the real world We won’t be defeated So keep your lies We will live our lives
WHEN WILL THIS END WHEN WILL YOU UNDERSTAND THAT WE WONT CHANGE OUR MINDS WHEN WILL YOU SEE THAT YOU ARE THE ONES TO BLAME.
Take a look, and realise The lies that hide behind your eyes You are the subject Of your own demise Keep spitting your hate In the form of faith You think You are so fucking perfect
We won’t lose sleep Over the opinions of sheep We won’t fall victim To your worthless beliefs
OUR MINDS ARE OPEN AND FREE AND THAT’S MORE THAN I CAN SAY FOR YOU I CANT WAIT TO SAY I TOLD YOU SO.Empires Fade - Album Preview 2015empiresfade2015-03-21 | ...Empires Fade - Eyes Wide Shut (ft Landon Tewers) OFFICIAL VIDEOempiresfade2015-01-10 | Official Music Video for ''Eyes Wide Shut'' by Empires Fade - http://www.facebook.com/empiresfade
