"The great rule of conduct for us in regard to foreign nations is, in extending our commercial relations, to have with them as little political connection as possible. So far as we have already formed engagements, let them be fulfilled with perfect good faith.

Lyrics

Lookin' like some clear skies
Have finally opened up my eyes
Livin' in a lost time
The dawning of a brand-new man
So much blood on our hands
King and queen of being lonely

Children of the empire see
That we're all lost

Comes a cost
Walkin' in the labyrinth without love
How much can you take?
And when are you gonna be okay?
Gain control of what we made
Instead of being afraid

Children of the empire say
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

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
Make desire but no one wins
Won't the fire burn us in
Before we get a chance to love again
Children understand that they pay for their sins
Seize control of what they made
Before we all fade away

Children of the empire wanna change
'Cause we're long gone
In that eternal flame
Tryin' to break away
From the mess we made
Oh, we don't have time anymore
To be afraid, anymore

Children of the empire know
Know that they're not free
Even though
They wanna be free
We know we're not free
Even though
We wanna be free
