Empire! Empire! (I Was a Lonely Estate) — What Had Taken Years to Put Together Was Destroyed in One Moment lyrics

Lyrics

A borrowed prayer died before it filled your lips
Your grandfather was the one who taught you it To speak in troubled times, to carry you to port
Now mechanical, it seems so meaningless
And what do I think
Death is death is death
And no amount of prayer will change that
And anyway, time is better spent on things you can change
