The empire's slave Letra

We swore that we’d travel every way

On a rainy day



You know there’s nothing left unsaid

But that’s okay I guess we’ll have to accept

Emotion thoughts drain me away



Every rainy day I pray for a happy end



You’re free now ‘cause you couldn’t win you war

There was a thunder while they only expected a storm

But I saw they hated to let you go

I know



Your illness drove the strength out of your life

Not once accepted that there wasn’t more time

And I regret that I wasn’t there



I want you to know that I prayed for a happy end



Well I learned life is not what it seems

Dragging of whatever I will be

But I’m swimming like a swan in the sea

Just let it be



Sometimes I didn’t recognize my own tears

But you brought it safely home to me

Nowadays it hurts me to see you fade



I want you to know that I love you anyways

Nobody knows we’re all slaves
