Standing with her back to the ocean
Is this the final curtain call?
Still trying to make a deal with the sunshine
It's over, it's over

Once bathed in glory
But now your image is fading
Hands start shaking
Looks like you've run out of time

'Cos tonight is the night our empire falls
With a sword at your throat your blood runs cold
Wo-oh I know that tonight is the night our empire falls

Frightened by the heat of the moment
Walls are crashing to the ground
Burning from the bridge to the lighthouse
She's dying, she's dying

Ooh this empire
And now your image is fading
Your hands start shaking
Looks like you've run out of time

Tonight is the night our empire falls
With a sword at your throat your blood runs cold
Wo-oh, I know that tonight is the night our empire falls

Stuck in the middle and it cuts your heart out
You're in the middle and it cuts your heart out
You had your glory, you had your glory
Now it's a matter of time

Standing with her back to the ocean
Is this the final curtain call?
Trying to make a deal with the sunshine

Tonight is the night our empire falls
With a sword at your throat your blood runs cold
Wo-oh, I know that tonight is the night our empire falls

Well your once had a dream that was like fools gold
Still they'd die at your side if you'd just say so
Wo-oh, I know that tonight is the night our empire falls

Oooo yeah
Oooo yeah
