Ashes of the empire

(Verse 1) The stars are bleeding, stripes are torn, The dream they sold us, dead and worn. From sea to poisoned sea, it falls, The empire cracks, the curtain calls. They built it high on stolen ground, Now echoes scream, the walls come down. (Chorus) Burn it down, let it fade, The American masquerade. Flags are tattered, lies are bare, The end is here, we’re all aware. No more gods, no more chains, Freedom rises from the flames. The empire’s dead, we’re breaking free, This is the end of the USA dream. (Verse 2) The factories rust, the cities scream, The hollow heart of the machine. They sold us out for profit’s sake, Now all that’s left is what we take. The rich man’s greed, the poor man’s pain, A nation drowning in its shame. (Chorus) Burn it down, let it fade, The American masquerade. Flags are tattered, lies are bare, The end is here, we’re all aware. No more gods, no more chains, Freedom rises from the flames. The empire’s dead, we’re breaking free, This is the end of the USA dream.
