It was a breath (Been sinking)
Followed by a breath
That cut her down (Been sinking)
That shook her out
And she would scream out loud (Been sinking)
'Cause she believed it

Been sinking so long that,
I've been sinking so long that
I had prayed for rain
But the sucker in all of us
Selled my soul for aid
But I don't believe it so
I won't take the blame

And then we whisper 'The empire is falling'
And then we whisper 'It'll never be the same'
And then we whisper 'The empire is falling'
And then we whisper

Could you believe the fallout?
Maybe you or I or one of us could talk them down
Maybe you or I or one of us could take them out
Maybe you or I or one of us could talk them down
Maybe you or I or you or I or you or I
I-I-I-I...
