[00:00.00]90听音乐网 www.90T8.com[00:11.30]Caught a train from Alexandria
[00:16.35]Just a broken man in flight
[00:21.47]Running scared with his devils
[00:26.89]Saying prayers all through the night
[00:32.33]Oh but mercy can't find him
[00:37.51]Not in the shadows where he calls
[00:42.93]Forsaking all his better angels
[00:48.36]That's how every empire falls
[01:04.09]The bells ring out on Sunday mornng
[01:09.20]Like echoes from another time
[01:14.84]All our innocence and yearning
[01:19.84]And sense of wonder left behind
[01:24.94]Oh gentle hearts remember
[01:30.33]What was that story Is it lost
[01:35.48]For when religion loses vision
[01:40.98]That's how every empire falls
[01:56.81]He toasts his wife and all his family
[02:01.75]The providence he brought to bear
[02:07.11]They raise their glasses in his honor
[02:12.34]Although this union they don't share
[02:17.72]A man who lives among them
[02:23.08]Was still a stranger to them all
[02:28.26]For when the heart is never open
[02:33.88]That's how every empire falls
[03:31.41]Padlock the door and board the windows
[03:36.34]Put the people in the street
[03:41.83]"It's just my job " he says "I'm sorry "
[03:47.27]And draws a check goes home to eat
[03:52.58]But at night he tells his woman
[03:57.76]"I know I hide behind the laws "
[04:02.80]She says "You're only taking orders "
[04:08.43]That's how every empire falls
[04:34.45]A bitter wind blows through the country
[04:39.44]A hard rain falls on the sea
[04:44.68]If terror comes without a warning
[04:49.86]There must be something we don't see
[04:54.96]What fire begets this fire
[05:00.26]Like torches thrown into the straw
[05:05.51]If no one asks then no one answers
[05:11.01]That's how every empire falls
