Asking Alexandria - Empire Lyrics
Yeah, and they tell me life is short
In the blink of an eye we come and die
Keep it in mind that life is war
Stay grounded, fly and soar
Always know what you fighting for
And go figure out what my life is for
Quick-witted, and everyday I gotta switch lanes
Fuck race, no pigment, I got thick skin, making big waves
Positive being positive is my legacy
Pray for me or make way for me
Because I'm on the way to go change the Earth and I just may
My life is was I call it
And I call it successful
Now everybody wanna eyeball it
Take pride in your every action
Everyday of my life is work
And they tell me that time is money
But only I know what that time is worth
Even if the sky was falling down
Down down down
Even if the sky was falling, well I'm not falling down
I stand tall through it all, I've risked too much
To just give up now I'm pushing on through
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Sure as the tide rolls in at night
I'll still be here at the end of days screaming at the sky
Let the fire consume and cleanse what's before me
Behold, I'll build my empire before the ashes hit the ground
Life inside a piece of paper, live it through my pen and pad
Lead inside my pencil like the hammer on my pistol back
There ain't no hitting back, life it ain't no tennis match
All over the net but that ain't where I do business at
Face to face with adversity and intimidation
This is real, this is raw, ain't no imitation
No limitations ain't a ceiling in sight
There ain't no rules or regulations either yield or you fight
Just take a look at where I been that's some appealing advice
Cause you can build until it falls or keep it real and you rise
Even if the sky was falling down
Down down down
Even if the sky was falling, well I'm not falling down
I stand tall through it all, I've risked too much
To just give up now I'm pushing on through
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Sure as the tide rolls in at night
I'll still be here at the end of days screaming at the sky
Let the fire consume and cleanse what's before me
Behold, I'll build my empire before the ashes hit the ground
Sure as the tides roll in at night
I'll still be here at the end of days screaming at the sky
Let the fires consume and cleanse what's before me
Behold, I'll build my empire before the ashes hit the ground
Sure as the tide rolls in at night
I'll still be here at the end of days screaming at the sky
Let the fire consume and cleanse what's before me
Behold, I'll build my empire before the ashes hit the ground

Asking Alexandria Empire Comments
This song is very very amazing 🥺😱
Just here for damn Bingx, hate me
BR🇧🇷
I just really want the instrumental to Into The Fire PLEASE!
I don't understand why people hates this. Is really good!
i ❤️ it
so you're telling me that i have to listen to that nonsense rap to enjoy the refrain and the beautiful soundtrack?
Favorite tracks are Empire, Alone In The Room, I'am One , To The Stage, Relentless and Reckless, Send Me Home, Into The Fire, Ghost Of The Pasts, Killing Me Softly, and This Is The End Of The World Remix.
BingX makes me hit next track please..Sorry AA you know I have been here since Stand up and scream but this shit can fuck off seriously..I say bring Denis back if Danny wants to make his wack ass rap country shit
didn't like this,honestly.
Tan buena mezcla con rap y coro perfecto
Esta letal este tema
I hate the rapper but what redeems this song is that chorus
Escuchandolos desde años, realmente el song es bueno pero Asking era Asking por algo y era porque tenian su estilo propio, creo que perdio eso que atraia a escuchar casa song con ganas, esto es como escuchar Sleeping, Asking perdio un poco su encanto🤨 perdonen si es ofensivo pero esta es mi opinion.
this song makes me feel high <3 kudos to aa for experimenting
(C)Rap in metal? Wtf
Horrible
My dude BINGX brought me here. This colabs fire 🔥🔥🔥
feels more like bingx feat asking alexandria
that being said tho-- this song still is nice as hell
It hurts me to see all offensive comments from people who don’t know anything about musical evolution... This is one of my favorite songs of AA through of their albums.
Guyz calm ur titts, this might not be the "traditional" AA song but the Lyrics is awesome! I dont like rap or hip-hop at all but cmon guyz listen at least once to the lyrics. :)
this would've been better without the rap, it ruined the song for me.
Tbh if Danny was the ine who rapped it would be cooler
Great song, but the rap lyrics are cheesy as fuck
probably the worst song they've ever made
El sonido de AA ha evolucionado y madurado con el paso de los años, esta canción es la mejor del álbum!
down down downnn
from what i've heard i'd thought it was way worse. now i regret not getting into this earlier.
The vibe of this song is epic
Su sonido maduró... Muchos no lo aceptan y quieren mas temas con riffs en 0, en este album lograron experimentar con su musica. No todo es Scream. Lo importante aqui es que Asking creció musicalmente, y si tanto trabajo les cuesta aceptar estas canciones, no vengan a tirar mierda.
Shit this is beautiful...
This song is good why so many people dislike ? :(
cause people hate change.its good imo
Because most people are stupid sacks of shit 🤷♂️
asked ma ex if he knows any good song to listen to and he sent me this, im so addicted to this song now 💙 love it!!
One of the many favorites of mine from asking alexandria
Yeah it’s not traditional asking Alexandria but it’s still a good song, and I’m glad they’re having fun with trying new things
QUÉ ES ESTO?! QUÉ MIERDA ES ESTO?!
really ????????????????? this sucks
I literally listen to this song about 5-10 times a day 😂
🌡🎆💀👻💕
Reminds me of The Word Alive - Human
this is still shit
https://youtu.be/_5Yj2lRfxhU
I wrote this song for all my kings who have lost their queens .Trust God.If you truly love her, you've got to respect her decisions,even if you fail to understand how they have come to form.Don't be bitter,broken,envious,BE HOPEFUL.Don't stop praying for her.Pray for every single person that comes across her path, even if it's someone that takes your place.Pray that God leads her to true happiness,and find the happiness in that as well

0:00 I Remember "Tears Don't Fall" from BFMV
Play this song at the end of red dead redemption 2
Muy mala, con estas canciones, empiezo a extrañar a Shaforostov
I really appreciate this collaboration. This isnt the first time rap and metal has combined so get with the times.
I would really love to hear an album made with a mix between "dead" "breathless" and their new more mature sound.....I still love the heavier double bass drumming and shredding guitar that drops into an anthemelodic chorus and a bridge thats a build up of emotion that you can feel in your entire body....but no matter what I will always love these guys no matter what they do....
Still one of the best songs on the album, idc what anyone says
I love it aswell
This is so different
But I love it
Wow this is actually fucking awful, and Danny hates there old stuff but this is good? 😂😂okay yeah rip AA
Wasn’t this song supposed to feature MGK originally?
Should have been Machine gun Kelly on here and not this fuckhead
perfect, i love it <3
Love it when people say how the band has gone down hill the fact is they have improved and updated there stuff. If you don't like it then what are you doing here?
The production on this is so awesome! Cool track
Dannys background vocals, near the end of the song, are amazing.
Where can I find the instrumental for this
Que música foda... Na moral 😈
I love this style switch up so much. Open up your minds people
wtf is this shit ?
Both sides being immature, not being able to respect each others opinions.
Bingx's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoVMVji4hCZ3Ugp79dYCh2Q
This song on another level
what most people dont realise is this song is a drum and bass song
Y ASI ES COMO CAGAS UNA GRAN BANDA :'v
NO PUEDEN SER TAN HIJOS DE PUTA
Worst song from the album
De la verga
just wow...omg
What the fuck is this shit
estoy escuchando a Asking Alexandria o a una colaboracion con marshmello, no es el Asking del que me enamore y duele mas a quien lleva tiempo escuchandolos
Funny story. Machine Gun Kelly was supposed to do the collaboration, but pussied out and bailed right before they were going to do it so they got Bingx to do the collaboration instead. Tbh this is better without him.
Best song of the album
This song would be good without this rap kinda sick ..
Amazing song
tbvh thats my favorite track of the entire album, loved it, great album tho. I've noticed that most screamo bands are kind of trying a lighter sound, BMTH, BFMV, AA and many others, and i'm loving it, again, to be very honest, i'm kinda preffering that new phase of them than the old.
Fucking shit rap, I can't stand whiny rappers.
Who's still play this song since release untill now?
dislaik
This song kicks ass. Who the fuck cares if a band evolves and can release different styles of music. Appreciate stand up and scream for what it was and move on.
"Setting out "should be "on my way to" but thank you for putting this out there. Love this album.
Y esto es Asking Alexandria? :"v
wonderfull, beatifull, masterpiece
i love it.. 👍 good the job
I love the music but idk how I feel about the rapping tbh, really like the lyrics tho
This song is beautiful
Twenty one Alexandria. 7u7
it's not is asking alexandria :'(
This is twenty one pilots no asking alexandria, the best shit of this album
Ok, this is the most shit, what a fuck???? :/
this is really sick (imo)
Yep. Really good
I agree
without words.....
Paris Smith are you homophobic
RIP ASKING ALEXANDRIA 2009-2017
Depois do BMTH as bandas de metalcore querem fazer igual mudar um pouco, pois com BMTH deu certo e popularizou a banda pra um público que não conhecia eles, agora vocês podem ter certeza que varias bandas vão nessa onde de fazer algo Com um pé no pop mas não deixando o metal de Lado
Wiz Khalifa? xD
what the fuck is this ? LOL
Atrocity. And these guys are in the metal scene ?
They've never been in the metal scene. They've always been a hardcore band.
Asking Park...
Ben bruce voice is so good !!!! This is awesome
Well, now. This is something unique.
