Blues Traveler Fallen Empire
Here's to the fallen empire, and all the treasure there Here's to the fallen empire, and I just don't care
A toast to the mighty buildings That cluttered up the sky And I'll drink to all those fine, brave lads Who gave it their best try The armies came on charging But the battle lasted a day By dawn the conquest halted there And a handful rode away
So here's to the fallen empire, and all the treasure there Here's to the fallen empire, and I just don't care
With the general dead and buried The corporal of resource Rallied up the small remains Of once-undefeated force Their final charge came quickly Their horses seemed to fly Each man knew an age had ended Each man knew he'd die
So here's to the fallen empire, and all the treasure there Hip hip hooray for the fallen empire, and I just don't care
The defenders made quick work of them And the war was finally won An era's culture grew no more And a new era begun The defenders, now the conquerors Grow docile with desire Their expansion surely justified now All hail the new empire
So here's to the fallen empire, and all the treasure there Here's to the fallen empire, and I just can't seem to care
You know, that was many empires ago Many since have rose and fell Many more shall rise under God and heaven And ride off into hell Their children have our faces Their children we're among And as I too dream, my turn draws near Because I am that young
So here's to the fallen empire, and all the treasure there Here's to the fallen empire, and I really don't care
I can hear it call to me Like a wolf howls to the moon You know, now there is no life up there We'll colonize it soon So here's to our falling empire And all that's fine and fair Come ride with me for an emperor's crown I'm young and I just don't care
So here's to the fallen empire, and all the trouble there Here's to the fallen empire, I'm a young man and I just don't care
