[Verse 1]
Concrete jungles turn to dust,
Corrupt kings lose their trust.
Sirens scream, the system cracks,
Rebel beats attack the backs!
[Pre‑Chorus]
Feel the ground start to shake,
No more chains we will take.
The clock strikes midnight — it’s too late,
The empire’s got to break!
[Chorus]
FALL OF THE EMPIRE! (Yeah!)
Crashing down in fire!
FALL OF THE EMPIRE!
Our time, our desire!
They built it high, they built it wide,
But power can’t hide, can’t hide, can’t hide!
FALL!
[Verse 2]
Neon signs are fading fast,
Glass and steel are in the past.
Streetwise kids with furious sound,
Tear the walls right to the ground!
[Guitar/Bass Break]
(Funk‑metal riff: syncopated palm‑muted chugs with slap‑bass accents and quick harmonic squeals)
[Bridge]
You thought the throne would stand forever?
The people rise — you’re done, you’re never!
No crown, no guard, no silver spoon,
The rhythm’s here — it comes too soon!
[Chorus]
FALL OF THE EMPIRE! (Come on!)
Crashing down in fire!
FALL OF THE EMPIRE!
Our time, our desire!
They built it high, they built it wide,
But power can’t hide, can’t hide, can’t hide!
FALL!
[Outro]
(Wham!) The final blow!
(Wham!) Watch it go!
Echoes fade, the story’s told —
New dawn breaks, new age unfolds…
[Fades with a distorted funk riff and a final cymbal crash]
