the empire of ash - weglobe lyrics

verse 1
three years since we broke the bed and let her out
now the world’s on fire and there’s no putting it out
five kingdoms burning, everybody chose a side
gods walking the earth now, got nowhere left to hide
cassienne’s beside me but i see her fading fast
can’t build a future when you’re drowning in the past
salome’s got armies marching under crimson flags
and i’m starting to wonder if we’re just her body bags

pre*chorus
they’re manifеsting, walking through the streets
golden armor, perfеct t**th
reality’s cracking at the seams tonight
maybe freedom was the thing we got wrong
maybe we were never meant to be this strong

chorus
welcome to the empire of ash
where the kingdoms burn and nothing’s gonna last
we freed a goddess, started world war three
now i can’t tell who’s the enemy
empire of ash, empire of flames
we broke the chains but nothing’s changed
just traded one prison for another h*ll
and i can’t tell if we saved the world—
or if we fell
verse 2
house valtor finally made their move last spring
tried to poison both of us, called it “god’s will” or something
lost a thousand soldiers taking back the northern gate
starting to realize that freedom comes with a different kind of weight
solomon died in my arms, said “don’t let her win”
but i don’t even know who “her” is anymore, where do i begin?
salome or the gods, who’s really in control?
maybe the real curse is wanting to be whole

pre*chorus
they’re manifesting, tearing through the veil
every prayer’s a weapon, every god’s for sale
reality’s bleeding and it won’t stop
we wanted revolution—
but we got the apocalypse

chorus
welcome to the empire of ash
where the kingdoms burn and nothing’s gonna last
we freed a goddess, started world war three
now i can’t tell who’s the enemy
empire of ash, empire of flames
we broke the chains but nothing’s changed
just traded one prison for another h*ll
and i can’t tell if we saved the world—
or if we fell
bridge
cassienne said, “we made a mistake”
i said, “it’s too late”
she said, “we can still fix this”
i said, “there’s nothing left to fix”
(beat comes back in slow, building)
salome appeared in the throne room last night
said the gods are planning something
said she needs me to do something i won’t survive
said she’s sorry but—

“freedom always costs more than you think
and baby, you’re about to pay the price”

chorus
this is the empire of ash
watch it burn, watch it crash
we freed a goddess, broke every rule
now we’re just gods’ favorite fools
empire of ash, we built this tomb
two queens in a burning room
we wanted freedom, got the end instead
turns out revolution—
just means everyone’s dead
(screamed) empire of ash
(screamed) empire of flames
(whispered) we broke the world
(whispered) and we’re the ones to blame
outro
reality’s fracturing, i can see through the cracks
something older than the gods is staring back
salome says book four’s gonna hurt
she says there’s a god beneath the earth
and he’s been waiting for the world to break
so he can finally wake
(all sound cuts except single heartbeat)
empire of ash…
(heartbeat stops)
empire of dust…
(silence)
