[00:00.00]End of an Empire - Turisas
[00:01.54]The time is here
[00:04.57]Time to be brave while others fear
[00:08.52]Fear the stars the moon and the holy ghost
[00:14.21]It's what lurks in the dark that scares us the most
[00:20.37]You're damned if you do you're damned if you don't
[00:26.48]What tomorrow brings is still the unknown
[00:32.38]But can you condone how to atone
[00:36.76]I'm so alone
[00:39.80]How can I know I won't bemoan
[00:45.30]Every tale needs its star and knave
[00:51.65]Which part I play is yet to be unveiled
[00:58.09]History just what's agreed
[01:03.55]Yet it will judge both you and me
[01:09.55]Shields and swords will win you wars
[01:15.60]But in the end the battle's for our hearts
[01:21.32]Fought by bards
[01:37.92]We know the walls will fall
[01:51.51]You look back in time
[01:53.98]No one heard the bells chime
[01:56.83]You wonder how
[02:00.32]How could they this allow
[02:03.55]Exactly the same
[02:06.09]Are the questions aimed your way
[02:09.42]When looking back on today
[02:15.37]The time is here
[02:18.20]Time to be brave let others fear
[02:21.25]We know the walls will fall
[02:28.99]But out of the ashes a new day will dawn
[02:34.76]We've enslaved the world
[02:37.58]We have slaughtered we've burned
[02:41.00]All in the name of our faith
[02:46.64]Only a fool would expect
[02:49.43]Others to settle for anything less
[02:52.87]The tide is about to turn
[03:21.66]The sea has pulled away
[03:23.87]Like small children we play
[03:27.37]What is this
[03:29.51]Come take a look at all these fish
[03:33.39]As long as you spend
[03:35.70]There is more for you to lend
[03:38.86]Someone always saves us in the end
[03:45.33]The time is here
[03:47.96]Time to be brave let others fear
[03:51.28]We know the walls will fall
[03:58.86]But out of the ashes a new day will dawn
[04:04.73]We've enslaved the world
[04:07.59]We have slaughtered we've burned
[04:11.04]All while knowing what is best
[04:16.60]Might take a year or ten
[04:19.85]Generations of men
[04:22.87]We've passed the point of no return
[04:34.55]Fifty-three days in 53
[04:37.86]Fifty-three steps for you to acknowledge your defeat
[04:43.63]The last in line ultimus romanorum
[04:49.26]Evolution through revolution
[04:52.40]A frozen river enough to tip an empire
[04:58.08]Stalingrad Waterloo Bastille Poltava Stamford Bridge
[05:06.52]At Manzikert it would all end
[05:14.42]Tough are times ahead
[05:16.90]With care you tread
[05:19.39]Before you know
[05:23.21]Out we need to bow
[05:26.09]Enjoy it while it lasts
[05:28.25]Soon forgotten in the past
[05:31.80]Our time here ended so fast
[05:37.22]Open your eyes
[05:40.23]Yourself apprise
[05:43.17]All empires find their demise
[05:48.53]The taller they are the harder they fall
[05:54.85]The snowball
[05:57.78]Is on the roll
[06:01.23]Open your eyes
[06:04.21]Yourself apprise
[06:07.57]New powers are on the rise
[06:12.52]So strong is our faith that the world stays as is
[06:18.85]Until it hits like shattering glass to bits
[06:26.45]How did this happen how could this happen
[06:32.26]How could the empire fall
