Empty empires built on tears They rule with power but live in fear
In their golden halls, echoes of pain Their lavish lives a hollow gain
Behind the luxury, the lies persist In a world of wealth, they can't resist
They build their castles high and grand But their empires rest on sinking sand
Empty empires shining bright Lost in shadows, out of sight
Wealth and power, a fleeting show In their hearts, the emptiness will grow
Gilded thrones and diamond rings Can't heal the sorrow that wealth brings
They wear their crowns but feel the weight Of every lie and twist of fate
In their ballrooms, the music plays But in their minds, the darkness stays
They smile and wave but deep inside In their empty empires, they can't hide
Empty empires shining bright Lost in shadows, out of sight
Wealth and power, a fleeting show In their hearts, the emptiness will grow
Gilded thrones and diamond rings Can't heal the bruise
Lie the secrets of impending doom Every treasure, every gem
Reminds them of what might have been
Empty empires shining bright Lost in shadows, out of sight
Wealth and power, a fleeting show In their hearts, the emptiness will grow
Empty empires built to fall In the end, they lose it all
Living lavish but never free In their hearts, they'll always see
