Lyrics

AUTUMN'S EMPIRE

VERSE 1
See the decline of the fantasy. Flaming demise of the canopy
Longer nights and shorter days, empire falls see browns and grays
The autumns empire starts to wilt, tearing down summer's build

CHORUS
Autumn's Empire is falling
V2: North Wind blows
D9(omit5) Dsus4 Em7(omit5) E7/D
Winter is calling
V2: Then it snows
Autumn's Empire is falling
V2: And so it goes
...and so it goes

VERSE 2
When the empire has fallen, and the cold comes a'calling
Covered with a blanket of white, can it last through the long nights
Will it die or will it sleep, does it have roots so deep

CHORUS

BRIDGE

INSTRUMENTAL CHORUS (SOLO)

VERSE 3
With the cooling of desire, feel the end of autumn's empire
Wondering if there's a reason, or is it just the season
Not sure if it's the end, or if it comes round again

CHORUS

VERSE 4
See the decline of the fantasy. Flaming demise of the canopy
Longer nights and shorter days, empire falls see browns and grays
The autumns empire starts to wilt, tearing down all summer's build

CHORUS (extended to outro)
