Barren land
My empire... turns into sand

Broken down
Beyond repair
My empire... lost with despair

Dreams I thought were mine
Crushed by the wheel of time

Everything dies within

[chorus]


3. The Faded Earth

Break me, I failed to be the one
Grey sun, fading in my mind

The desolate withered tree
The faded earth, swallows me
My sorrow, she's here with me
As beautiful as only she can be

Among ruins of guilt
Earth fading still
We despair, we die
In rapture

Don't you know it has gone too far
The place we loved, been torn apart
I feel disgust of what we have become
Motherless children in the eclipse of the sun

The faded earth, the heavy sky
Looks down on me, at least I try
In agony I realize
These hopeful tears, about to die

We make ourselves a world apart
Behind light words that tease and flout
'til someone find us really out

[chorus]
