[Intro]
These arterial road ways
Carry empathy in differently
From a heart made to break the scale
To its unfeeling extremities
(x2)
[Chorus]
In between the rise and fall of an empire
The light from the campfire, is fading away
History writes itself on the faces of people and places
In traces of gray
As the stock market sleeps tonight
This town dreams in black and white
(x2)
[Verse]
The house filled with vampires
Can a wound go unrecognized?
See the ghost of a distant time
As a freightliner of bull s fight
(x2)
[Chorus]
In between the rise and fall of an empire
The light from the campfire, is fading away
History writes itself on the faces of people and places
In traces of gray
In between the rise and fall of an empire
The light from the campfire, is fading away
History writes itself on the faces of people and places
In traces of gray
