Echoes of the Empire

[Verse] Broken streets of London calling whispers Echoes of the Empire ghostly shadows Clock tower's metal heartbeat hollow Revolution in the rain so cold [Verse 2] Cobblestones beneath my weary footsteps Stories told by silent cracks and scars Cigarette smoke drifts past broken dreams Jaded youth these dreams they falter [Chorus] And we scream for something brighter History's chains we're gonna shatter Electric guitars played by the fire Long live the echoes growing louder [Verse 3] Black cabs carrying ghosts now gone Pub songs sung in midnight’s clamor Tea-stained lips read lines of despair Union Jack waves in silent madness [Verse 4] Cathedrals stand still giants watching Whispers of time forgotten soldiers Rebel voices trapped in stone-cold walls Hope buried in the streets we wander [Chorus] And we scream for something brighter History's chains we're gonna shatter Electric guitars played by the fire Long live the echoes growing louder
