Lyrics
---------------------------------------

Verse 1:
I look upon the downfall
From a bastion of hope
The pinnacle of our greatness
Now the final wall
With no room for doubt
I will tear down every brick
But nothing could have ever
Prepared me for this

Pre-Chorus 1:
Is this the end of an empire
Has the cycle come to close
Shall we tear down every statue
Rewrite the stories to be told
Deface every mural like we’ve
Done so many times before
A mockery of what we fought for
But it’s all I’ve ever known

Chorus:
If we fail
All will fall
But death shall have no dominion
When the praetorian stands guard
If we fail
All will fall
No soul shall breach these ramparts
While the praetorian remains

Verse 2:
A monument of glory
Never to be made
For joy has turned to terror
In such traitorous disgrace
Stoic in the face of duty
Until the bitter end
Standing atop this citadel
The tidal wave begins

Repeat Pre-Chorus 2
Repeat Chorus 2

Interlude:
In our darkest hour
When they crash against the gates
I’ll promise to rebuild it all
And forgive your past mistakes
Will my brothers stand beside me
To stem the rising tide
Will we stand defiant
Against our own kind

Repeat Chorus 3

Outro:
If we fail
All will fall
If we fail
All will fall
All will fall
All will fall
