Sunset over the Empire
Daniel Erlandsson, Michael Amott
Welcome to the apocalypse, the end of days
Rulers of the wasteland, rejoice in the flames
Futures tumble, legacies crumble
Thousands of years and what have we learned?
They heard the warnings, ignored the signs
Wheels of injustice kept on turning
Unaccountable for their crimes
On the streets anger burning
Black clouds rumble, dark days ahead
As the chorus chants for a holy war
It's the end of an era, a new dawn will rise
Words turned to war, brother fighting brother
Another false truce, as the people die
The fate of the nation forever changed
Behold, the fiery end is nigh
Behind closed doors, corruption wins
The power echelon prepares their task
One step forward, two stabs in the back
Revolution is a mere change of masks
Black clouds rumble, dark days ahead
As the chorus chants for a holy war
It's the end of an era, a new dawn will rise
We rise again from the stench and the pain
We pass through fire, darkness erase the stain
Black clouds rumble, dark days ahead
As the chorus chants for a holy war
It's the end of an era, a new dawn will rise
It's the end of an era, a new dawn
As the sun sets on the empire
Is there a future to be found?
Hopes and dreams now ashes on the ground
Welcome to the apocalypse, the end of days
Bienvenue à l'apocalypse, la fin des jours
Rulers of the wasteland, rejoice in the flames
Dirigeants du désert, réjouissez-vous dans les flammes
Futures tumble, legacies crumble
Les futurs s'effondrent, les héritages s'écroulent
Thousands of years and what have we learned?
Des milliers d'années et qu'avons-nous appris ?
They heard the warnings, ignored the signs
Ils ont entendu les avertissements, ignoré les signes
Wheels of injustice kept on turning
Les roues de l'injustice ont continué à tourner
Unaccountable for their crimes
Non responsables de leurs crimes
On the streets anger burning
Dans les rues, la colère brûle
Black clouds rumble, dark days ahead
Les nuages noirs grondent, des jours sombres à venir
As the chorus chants for a holy war
Alors que le chœur chante pour une guerre sainte
It's the end of an era, a new dawn will rise
C'est la fin d'une ère, une nouvelle aube se lèvera
Words turned to war, brother fighting brother
Les mots se sont transformés en guerre, frère contre frère
Another false truce, as the people die
Une autre fausse trêve, alors que les gens meurent
The fate of the nation forever changed
Le destin de la nation a changé pour toujours
Behold, the fiery end is nigh
Voici, la fin enflammée est proche
Behind closed doors, corruption wins
Derrière des portes fermées, la corruption gagne
The power echelon prepares their task
L'échelon du pouvoir prépare leur tâche
One step forward, two stabs in the back
Un pas en avant, deux coups de couteau dans le dos
Revolution is a mere change of masks
La révolution n'est qu'un simple changement de masques
Black clouds rumble, dark days ahead
Les nuages noirs grondent, des jours sombres à venir
As the chorus chants for a holy war

We pass through fire, darkness erase the stain
Nous passons à travers le feu, l'obscurité efface la tache
Black clouds rumble, dark days ahead
Les nuages noirs grondent, des jours sombres à venir
As the chorus chants for a holy war
Alors que le chœur chante pour une guerre sainte
It's the end of an era, a new dawn will rise
C'est la fin d'une ère, une nouvelle aube se lèvera

C'est la fin d'une ère, une nouvelle aube
As the sun sets on the empire
Alors que le soleil se couche sur l'empire
Is there a future to be found?
Y a-t-il un avenir à trouver ?
Hopes and dreams now ashes on the ground
Les espoirs et les rêves sont maintenant des cendres sur le sol
