They don't know your story
They don't know where you've been
All the lonely nights, the silent cries
The wars that you've been in
They don't know your future
Don't know nothing about your past
'Cause you're here to stay, no other way
Your walls are built to last
You will never crumble
Won't break
Made from every fear that you faced
They can never tear it down
Tear it down, tear it down
Empire
We'll rise above it all
Empire
Won't let this kingdom fall
Every bruise, every scar
They have made us who we are
Empire, empire
You're living in the shadow
Of all you've done before
All the good, the bad
The hard, the sad
It's all we're fighting for
You will never crumble
Won't break
Made from every fear that you faced
They can never tear it down
Tear it down, tear it down
Empire
We'll rise above it all
Empire
Won't let this kingdom fall
Every bruise, every scar
They have made us who we are
Empire, empire
We build it up
We build it up
We build it up, higher
We build it up
We build it up
Empire
We'll rise above it all
Empire
Won't let this kingdom fall
Every bruise, every scar
They have made us who we are
Empire, empire
