Nothing matters when the empire falls

Verse 1

Bleeding light through the chapel's shattered glass

I trace the names carved into stone

No echo left that ever answered back

The choir's silence keeps us all alone

Pre-Chorus

And I hear them singing nothing

Nothing at all

Nothing at all

Chorus

We burn beneath these hollow skies

Every prayer a dying ember dies

Stare into the void that never lies

Nothing matters when the empire falls

Verse 2

I watched the god of reason turn to rust

The hymns decay into a bitter dust

My hands reach out to hold a fading ghost

There was never meaning that I trusted most

Pre-Chorus

And I hear them singing nothing

Nothing at all

Nothing at all

Chorus

We burn beneath these hollow skies

Every prayer a dying ember dies

Stare into the void that never lies

Nothing matters when the empire falls

Bridge

Crown of ash upon a sceptred throne

Every throne I build becomes a tomb

Let the strings of heaven crack and moan

I'll carve my nothing in the gloom

Breakdown

And the strings descend like snow

Snow that never lands

Into black that understands

Chorus

We burn beneath these hollow skies

Every prayer a dying ember dies

Stare into the void that never lies

Nothing matters when the empire falls
