All That Remains - Fiat Empire Lyrics






I never asked for more than just what I have
Now, what more can I do with that
I see this fall to come, it's crashing all around
No, I don't think that there's time to waste
The last time was simply a little taste
Now, I think it's just a matter of time

Wide awake, we step to the fall point
Never had thought I'd see this

Why, why, empire cannot last forever
Why, why, the best laid plans can all be cast aside
Why, empire cannot last forever
Why, why, the best laid plans can all be cast aside

Just because we all had our part to play
Doesn't guarantee us just one more day
We’ve seen the cost before, it’s far too much to pay
Desperate times require desperate measures now
Ask a free man and he'll show you how
Our fathers paved the way for us to lash out

Wide awake, we step to the fall point
Never had thought I'd see this

Why, why, empire cannot last forever
Why, why, the best laid plans can all be cast aside

Keynesianism, live the lie
Trapped in this prison, destroying lives

  1. M.... ....

    Música bem fraca😕

  2. Q.... ....

    Did anyone else watch that entire documentary before coming here?

  3. J.... R....

    Gonna be jamming ATR alllll day.....Riff in Peace, Oli...

  4. B.... L....

    Why does feel like a Breaking Benjamin song? Love it anyway though lol

  5. D.... S....

    Love this song with his soft yet meaning voice along with his aggressive mids and highs

  6. E.... M....

    My stepdad is a lifetime fan of oldschool metal bands like metallica, pantera, rob zombie, etc... I should him some music by ATR, as well as Periphery, as well as a few others.... Lets just say, he was quite blown away by some of the newer stuff there is out there....

    E.... M....

    *showed.. Not Should lmao

  7. R.... v....

    loved 2:20

  8. C.... K....

    This song is about the US and how if it keeps going the way it’s headed the Founding Fathers have given is the way to fix it back the way it was supposed to be. Free man will lash out.

  9. D.... P....

    What do you call this music genre?

    D.... P....

    DANIEL PARTAIN Its a mix of Metalcore and Hard Rock

  10. J.... L....

    COME TO BRAZIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  11. M.... S....

    Fiat Empire. Research this. It's not about the song, but the message. Find the truth.

  12. S.... C....

    This song speaks to me. What if we can't last for ever? Who's to say this song is bad, it's the people who are incapable of deep cognitive thought that can't understand this song. It's not about a break up, it's not about that cute boy down the street. It's about yourself, ask yourself if you can not last for ever. Why?

    Why?

  13. c.... ....

    not sure why this made it on the worst metal songs of 15 list but I like it. if they were going to pick a song off of this album I would have to recommend no knock because no knock blows sack

    c.... ....

    ccmetalhead hey I like no knock

    c.... ....

    How could they ever think this is metal? lol

  14. V.... F....

    I don't know if this is their best album or For We Are Many, both are amazing!

  15. B.... ....

    This song sounds like it could've been a B-side for Overcome. I don't get why everyone says that they've fallen. This band's first four albums all had different sounds, and now for the last 3 they've decided to stick with a sound that works for them, but is different than what other people may like or what they're used to. Some people need to stop being such an elitist about everything. Also gotta remember recording studios/producers kind of force a lot on the band as well, which is why bands will release a self-titled album years after and it ends up being completely different than what they released prior to that. Take Staind for example, after Break the Cycle they got really mellow, yet in 2011 they released a self titled album that was more like Dysfunction than anything.

  16. V.... P....

    haha the song might not be great but the message is important.

  17. a.... a....

    Vocals are kind of boring

  18. J.... I....

    This song made CKN's top 10 worse songs of 2015. How far ATR has fallen. At least Oli Herbert is still a beast.

    J.... I....

    +Joel Inzerillo You will never be able to please a metalhead, they will always find something to bitch about. Shut the fuck up and listen to the music.

    J.... I....

    +KillgoreES88 I'm actually rather hard to displease. And never said I disliked this song.

    J.... I....

    +KillgoreES88 Hear that, all? Finding something to be poorly-written, poorly-performed, or otherwise substandard is just looking for mistakes.


    Quick, let's all go listen to the latest 2 Chainz track, because if we think it's bad, we're just looking for things to bitch about!

    J.... I....

    +Jaycen Bizzle Except this track is just plain boring and generic. It's pretty hard to defend this album.

    J.... I....

    All That Remains' "Fiat Empire" has a chorus that sounds sort of like Michael Jackson's "Human Nature", complete with the "why, why," phrase.

  19. w.... ....

    At the end there (3:00) it kind of got A sexual weird lmao i dunno about this album its not that great but i know A reason for me to fight and tru kvlt metal is alright

  20. M.... M....

    The music from 0:00 to 0:25 kind of reminds me of dragon ball z.

  21. T.... A....

    My favorite song off this album. LOVE this album.

  22. J.... Z....

    The Fiat 500 is a pretty nice car lol

    J.... Z....

    It's a Beetle on steroids

    J.... Z....

    team fiat abarth😂

  23. L.... P....

    Wide awake, we step to the fall point
    Keynesianism, live the lie

    This song is undoubtedly about the USA.

    L.... P....

    @rollinga2010 Then why are so many people in our government following keynesian principals?

    L.... P....

    Because Keynesianism serves better to corrupt political power, Hayek said it.. And he also said many things like "If we do not manipulate prices, they will not go crazy", and many other things like inflation and businessmen friends of politicians.. (in my country, you can find to lazaro baez, cristobal lopez, julio lopez, julio de vido, ricardo jaime [ linked to petrobras in brazil] , and more entrepreneurs linked to Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner.

    L.... P....

    They also manipulated the indices of poverty, work, education, and left a great deficit and inflation to the country. A Keynesian Model with corruption..

    L.... P....

    Stop tyring to make everything sbout you

    L.... P....

    rollinga2010 indeces?

  24. M.... B....

    Just made a full cover of this if anyone is interested in checkin it out :)

  25. m.... ....

    The chorus reminds me of Michael Jackson's "Human Nature".

  26. _.... C....

    Deff like this song too along with Pernicious, this one has nice chill moments and then goes into nice heavy instrumental parts, and the lyrics don't suck in this one either 

  27. j.... ....

    good songs the titles tho ... are a bit :/ hmm

    j.... ....

    @jimakosmetalman Yea, I agree. I love this album, but some song titles are a bit hit or miss...

  28. I.... ....

    I love this album, it's miles better than the previous one

  29. S.... ....

    The way he ends "Why" on 3:19... ERMAHGERD SO GERD

  30. J.... ....

    Absolutely love this song. Enjoying this album. Can't listen to my iTunes at work... so glad to see ATR put it on VEVO!

  31. M.... B....

    from 2:00 onwards is reason enough to keep this band on my ipod, hope theyve more good stuff left in them !

  32. B.... S....

    I like this song very!!!

  33. J.... B....

    Meanings people!! Wake up!! He's stating about when your money because WORTHLESS!!! You fools don't even come close to understanding this man, Such a shame you fools stay blind and asleep. WAKE UP!!!

    J.... B....

    It is sad and at the same time it will be our only chance to reset the current way and get rid of a bunch of dead weight at the same time when it all comes down. If people think this will last they are sadly mistaken.

    J.... B....

    @James Barrett You people are not bright

    J.... B....

    @tenaciousfilm If you don't get it you never will. Stay asleep until your time comes.

    J.... B....

    yeahhhh

  35. D.... B....

    Phil has always made a point to keep his politics separate from his lyrics but it's interesting to see them together.

    D.... B....

    I actually enjoy all their political songs a great deal.

  36. S.... Z....

    That why why part with the follow up lyrics reminds me of Michael Jackson's human nature

    S.... Z....

    That's what i was trying to think of!!

    S.... Z....

    @javaris jordan glad I'm not the only one haha

    S.... Z....

    I also thought that from human nature.

  37. U.... ....

    So good. I hope they play it live in March

  38. A.... ....

    Truth for me, I like the album. It has that cool, and kinda unique sound to it, that ATR always had. It's a bit odd, and ofc not as heavy as their past records, but it's definetly damn awesome.

    A.... ....

    @FirstPersonSlayer I agree! I was lucky enough to see them about a month or so ago in Dayton, Ohio. They played a few new ones but not this one which was disappointing. But No Knock and Pernicious hit hard as fuck!
