EMPIRE 21 LYRICS

1. When You're Falling

Everything you'll ever need I offer you
Still you say I walk away
Every step you take I watch and follow you
Even when you go astray

Get up, stand up, walk beside me
Toss your guilt now let it go
May I see you walk my ways and
May I catch you when you're falling

All that you forsake and every change you take
What is precious? What is true?
It is all a matter of your point of view
They will tell you that it's true

Get up, stand up, walk beside me
Toss your guilt now let it go
May I see you walk my ways and
May I catch you when you're falling

May I see you walk my ways and
May I catch you when you're falling

2. I Can't

See me, tell me I am someone
Feed me, give me what I think I need
I scream, I cry
I live – but see no reason why…

I can't move on, I can't forget
Can't be strong, no no
I can't be strong, I can't confess
To belong, no no

I've seen dreams that turned to stone
I've gained nothing on my own
I scream, I try
I live – but I still must die

I can't move on, I can't forget
Can't be strong, no no
I can't be strong, I can't confess
To belong, no no

I will move on, I will forget
Found my way to go
I will be strong, I will confess
To belong to you

3. All Is Lost

Tell me that all is a twist of fate
Tell me that all is a fairytale
Is it all coincidence?
Tell me just how we come this far
Tell me just how we raise the bar
So high, oh why, why are we here?

Is there anybody there?
Anyone in space and time
Who is the master of the great design?

All is lost, all is gone
Without hope we carry on
We're trying to hide the truth, the wisdom all along

I know it's all been a matter of use and abuse in the name of God
But is it all coincidence?
I know the story just like you do
No one can prove it, so no one can really tell
Does it prove coincidence?

Is there anybody there?
Anyone in space and time
Who is the master of the great design?

All is lost, all is gone
Without hope we carry on
We're trying to hide the truth, the wisdom all along

4. Traveler

Sorry for the time I was away
I thought I had to go, I thought I had to see
What was out there in the cold
Searching for a new trail…

Chasing a dream I thought that I need
Playing the role I thought they wanted
I don't wanna mess around, mess around anymore
I put my foot down

One road goes up and the other road goes down
I am a traveler but I'm coming back now
I've had enough of the other side of town
I am a traveler but I'm coming back now

Hot winds and dusty roads
Staying focused on my goal
What was out there, I don't know
All I know is I'm going home

Chasing a dream I thought that I need
Playing the role I thought they wanted
I don't wanna mess around, mess around anymore
I put my foot down

One road goes up and the other road goes down
I am a traveler but I'm coming back now
I've had enough of the other side of town
I am a traveler but I'm coming back now

5. Empire 21

After the fire when the smoke has cleared
After the liar and his angels disappeared

And I saw a new heaven and I saw the world
The place I once knew
As the empire rises and heaven and earth must bow
On this day, all things new

In the ruins and the flooded land
Out of the ashes we are risen by God's hand

And I saw a new heaven and I saw the world
The place I once knew
As the empire rises and heaven and earth must bow
On this day, all things new

6. 100 Nights

Run away, fly away, let us head out far away
No horizon seems too far
Gazing out to the sky, soaring over mountains high
Winds are whispering in silence
Never let go, the journey goes on

Once in my life I'm standing strong
Walk with me, by my side
Hundred nights and a hundred rainy days
Come with me and go with the flow no more

Off the course, catch my breath, the sun is punishing my shoulders
I passed the point of no return
I need to make this journey now, down the road it might get harder
Aiming high to reach my goal
Never let go, the journey goes on

Once in my life I'm standing strong
Walk with me, by my side
Hundred nights and a hundred rainy days
Come with me and go with the flow no more

7. Heard It All

Who can give me everything? Everything I voted for
Everything a western man deserves
Left or right, it's both alright, as long as I can get a big bite
In the end it's never what it seems

What we need is more and more
Of wisdom divine to govern our minds
I have heard it all before
They're playing their game – their false propaganda

Blame the ones who came before, everything they're fighting for
Everything they offer on their plate
Save the people on the street, as long as I can make ends meet
Calculation, recession, depression, secularization

What we need is more and more
Of wisdom divine to govern our minds
I have heard it all before
They're playing their game – their false propaganda

8. This Is My Story

I wonder how we came this far? This far from home
I listen close as we turn… turn to stone

Temptations came, we just drifted away
All that you gave was left in the dark

This is my story
This is the essence of my life
I ask you forgive my sins and bring me home again

I'm not the one to cast the stone
Too far from home
I say I care but still forget all regrets

No matter what I failed in the past
No one will find me left in the dark

This is my story
This is the essence of my life
I ask you forgive my sins and bring me home again

9. Calling

Get up, get up, get up and prove it. Rich, famous, mortal man
Get down, get down, get down to business. Every cent will turn to sand
Wash away your conscience. Clock is ticking as we sleep
Building castles in the sand

Every burning hour, every minute feeling pain
While our minds devour human wisdom, your own savior
Building castles in the sand

Right now, can you hear me calling, calling?
To save you from this hell, I'm calling, calling

Listen closely now, this is what I have to say
We are heading down the drain and we don't care
No matter what we choose, blinded by our human wisdom
We're building castles in the sand…

Right now, can you hear me calling, calling?
To save you from this hell, I'm calling, calling

10. Would You

I'm yearning every day, for peace of mind
I've tried to find a way, it seems so hard to find
As the liar pushes untruths on
To adore and admire, 'til my sense is gone
On and on and on

Would you cry for me? Show your faith repeatedly
Would you die for me? I am trying desperately
As time goes by, until the day I die, would you be?
Would you cry for me?

As humble as can be, I'm asking you
Please can you set me free and make my vision new
Give me guidance until my work is done
Save me from subsidence and lead my way on
On and on and on

Would you cry for me? Show your faith repeatedly
Would you die for me? I am trying desperately
As time goes by, until the day I die, would you be?
Would you cry for me?

11. No Matter The Wind Of Change

We are victims, of our weaknesses
We are suffering from ignorance and bitterness
We are nothing… on this grain in space
That's the doctrine… that's the truth…

All the love that was meant for us
It is time to claim what's lost

We are soldiers, this is the final hour
No matter the winds of change
We are soldiers, this is the final call
No matter the winds of change

We are living in denial
We are sailing on the ocean of oblivion
We get nothing and we curse and blame…
It's a doctrine it's a truth… it's a lie!

All the love that was meant for us
It is time to claim what's lost

We are soldiers, this is the fin al hour
No matter the winds of change
We are soldiers, this is the final call
No matter the winds of change

We are nothing… on this grain in space
That's the doctrine… that's the truth…

All the love that was meant for us
It is time to claim what's lost

We are soldiers, this is the fin al hour
No matter the winds of change
We are soldiers, this is the final call
No matter the winds of change
