Capo: 1st fret
[Intro]
Am7
[Verse 1]
Am7 G
Looking like some clear skies have finally opened up my eyes
Dm7 F/C
Livin' in a lost time
G Dm7
The dawning of a brand new man
C Esus4 E
So much blood on our hands
Dm7
King and queen of being lonely
G Dm7 Am7
Children of the empire see that we're all lost
G
There comes a cost walking in the labyrinth without love
Dm7 F/C
How much can you take?
G D
And when are you gonna be okay?
C Esus4 E
Gain control of what we made
Dm7
Instead of being afraid
G D F
Children of the empire say
[Chorus]
C
"We're long gone
E
In that eternal flame
G
Trying to break away
F C Dm7
From the mess we made
F Dm Am7 E7 F
Oh, we don't have time anymore to be afraid"
[Verse 2]
Am7 G
We tend to live long, that's why so many things go wrong
Dm7
People selling their young blood
G D
I guess that's the price you pay
C Em
Fake desire, but no one lives, oh
Am7
Won't the fire burn our sin
G
Before we get a chance to love again?
Dm7 G D
Children understand that they pay for their sins
C Esus4 E
Seize control of what they made
Dm7
Before we all fade away
G Dm7 Ab6
Children of the empire wanna change
[Chorus]
C
'Cause we're long gone
E
In that eternal flame
G
Trying to break away
F C Dm7
From the mess we made
F Dm7 Gm Ab6
Oh, we don't have time anymore to be afraid, anymore
F F+ Dm/F Bb
[Outro]
F F+ Bb Bbm
Children of the empire know
F F+
Know that they're not free for long
Bb
They wanna be free
F F+
They know we're not free, oh no
Bb Bbm
We wanna be free
F A Gm F
Looking like some clear skies
Have finally opened up my eyes
Living in a lost time
The dawning of a brand-new man
So much blood on our hands
King and queen of being lonely
Children of the empire see
That we're all lost
Comes a cost walking in the labyrinth without love
How much can you take?
And when are you gonna be okay?
Gain control of what we made
Instead of being afraid
Children of the empire say
We're long gone
In that eternal flame
Trying to break away
From the mess we made
Oh, we don't have time anymore
To be afraid
We tend to live long
That's why so many things go wrong
People selling their young blood
I guess that's the price you pay
Make desire but no one wins
Won't the fire burn us in
Before we get a chance to love again?
Children understand that they pay for their sins
Seize control of what they made
Before we all fade away
Children of the empire wanna change
'Cause we're long gone
In that eternal flame
Trying to break away
From the mess we made
Oh, we don't have time anymore
To be afraid, anymore
Children of the empire know
Know that they're not free even though
They wanna be free
We know we're not free even though
We wanna be free
