Children Of The Empire

Capo 1st fret (or transpose +1 semitone) [Intro] [Verse 1]   Looking like some clear skies have finally opened up my eyes   Livin’ in a lost time   The dawning of a brand new man C                  Esus4  E   So much blood on our   hands   King and queen of being lonely   Children of the empire see that we’re all lost   There comes a cost walking in the labyrinth without love   How much can you take?   And when are you gonna be okay? C                      Esus4  E   Gain control of what we    made   Instead of being afraid   Children of the empire say [Chorus]   "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"      [Verse 2]   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   Fake desire but no one lives oh   Won’t the fire burn our sin   Before we get a chance to love again?   Children understand that they pay for their sins C                       Esus4   E   Seize control of what they  made   Before we all fade away   Children of the empire wanna change [Chorus]   ’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   +  /     [Outro]   Children of the empire know   Know that they’re not free for long   They wanna be free   They know we’re not free oh no   We wanna be free
