lyrics

When the curtain falls
And we see through Oz
Then the Prince of Darkness turns to grey

When the metal god
Goes to rust in peace
Then our way of life it fades away

Empires fall
No king can save us all
By spinning lies and selling faith
Oh Empires fall
History says it all
And now we suffer through our fate

We were powerslaves
In a dynasty
Held fast by the fists of rebellion

But in Metallica
The first cracks appeared
And we wondered who it was that we believed in

Empires fall
No king can save us all
By spinning lies and selling faith
Oh Empires fall
History says it all
And now we suffer through our fate

We bought into a dream, we gave our souls
Built every temple, went to every show
Not even Ancient Greece had gods like ours
That sang us battle hymns for hours and hours
We worshipped each of them and brought them tithes
For all the meaning that they gave our lives
We had a brotherhood that spanned across nations
We were religious in our dedication

Now it’s all gone
It’s all gone
It’s all gone
It’s all gone

Empires fall
No king can save us all
By spinning lies and selling faith
Oh Empires fall
History says it all
And now we suffer through our fate
Empires fall
