Empire - Ella Henderson

I see your lie

I know it’s coming and I’m terrified

No more defences here to hide behind

Oh, just you and I And through the smoke, I see you’re burning like a ray of hope

I found the fire and now the ashes glow

Oh, come alive

And now that I’m awake

I’m not afraid, I’m letting go tonight

Cause we found strength

And enjoyed the songs

We built this life and we made it up Empire, empire, empire

And you and I, they will enjoy these cards

We’ll build on life and we’ll make it up Empire, empire, empire

Stone by stone, we build this hour we call our own

So high the world forget the world below

Oh, just you and I, high

So let the drums roll

The cannons blow, we’re letting go tonight

Cause we found strength

And enjoyed the songs

We built this life and we made it up Empire, empire, empire

And you and I, they will enjoy these cards

We’ll build on life and we’ll make it up Empire, empire, empire

They’ll never take it down, take it down

Burn it down, burn us down

Take it down, take down our empire

They’ll never take it down, take it down

Burn it down, burn us down

Take it down, take down our empire

Cause we found strength

And enjoyed the songs

We built this life and we made it up Empire, empire, empire

And you and I, they will enjoy these cards

We’ll build on life and we’ll make it up Empire, empire, empire

They’ll never take it down, take it down

Burn it down, burn us down

Take it down, take down our empire
