Where have you gone and run to, where have you been
Ive been doing some hard thinking and I've been growing thin
Well I've slept in stalls and alleyways and broken princess hearts
Assassinating kings on Christmas day, I watch the world fall apart
Well I betrayed the world I save
The freedom to the ones I left behind
And I ain't never going b ack

Empire, don't cry for me anym ore
Now who have you gone and become, who are you now
Cause the home you left so easily is a memory now
I'm a stranger you have always known and never will forget
I'm the trigger on your trigger finger
I'm the only ride you got
I drank the wine, I parted seas and walked the mile
I betrayed you all with the promise I'd come b ack

Who will k now that I was never really left for you
You hold m e in your hearts
As you raise hell i n my name
Forsake me, t ear me apart
For all you know of me
All you know is pain
All you k now is what you lost

When dust and ash will be all you are you can l et go
One thousand honors, one grai n of sand
One whispered grail, w anna lend a hand
In black hawk f ields of go ld
When people shatte r history
When people quiet th e faith in m e
The king that would never
Could never, ever
Show the m all, be salvation
