Kittie - Empires (Part 2) Lyrics






You learn to swim, if it doesn't kill you
Cried this ocean to reality
Tides will wash away what's left of the city,
And the flood will pull you under with me
These streets have all but been abandoned
Even empires will fall
And here we are, we sit in silence
There is nothing left to say
Our lives lay scattered in the
midst of the ruins
Giving up is the only way
These streets have all but
been abandoned
Even empires will fall
These castles somehow built
to crumble
Even empires will fall
Let the waves overtake me
As I fall to the floor
Let the black water fill me
Love exists here no more

Kittie Empires (Part 2) Comments
  1. l.... l....

    who’s still listening in 2019 tho? i am🖕🏼

  2. J.... D....

    Mercedes is insane. Morgan always. Like the new bassist. Idk if they even play anymore?

  3. J.... D....

    This is fuckin epic

  4. d.... 1....

    Goddamn! They just got better and better

  5. K.... 6....

    Akerfeldt PRS guitar, very nice

  6. g.... ....

    There's only a few female metal bands or bands with females that I have a great respect for: Vixen, Kittie, Lacuna Coil and Arch Enemy and that's because they don't or didn't rely on their looks or "cute" personalities to make it in a male dominated genre.

  7. F.... M....

    This girl simply suck big time... Enough said 🐳

  8. M.... C....

    RIP TRISH

  9. t.... t....

    This is brilliant!!!!!!!!

  10. k.... l....

    can't remember who played guitar. Fallon or talina but Tara clearly out shines them

    k.... l....

    The old set up is always the best. Check out the older songs.

    k.... l....

    I disagree. I think Tara is an incredible guitarist. Fallon Bowman was the original guitarist and Talena Atfield was on bass, replacing Tanya Candler (all that from memory!). I much prefer 'Funeral for Yesterday' to the first three albums. So sad about Trish Doan.

  11. n.... g....

    am i the only one that thinks Morgan Lander is sexy?

    n.... g....

    +nick grasso No, yer not - get in line buddy...

    n.... g....

    My highschool crush! I am a gay girl tho

  12. D.... W....

    I love Kittie fuck you mooning no moo moo moo moo

    D.... W....

    Daniel Willday haha what

  13. G.... U....

    Kittie's first 2 albums took out all the shitty parts of metal (especially Oracle) and made metal what it should be. The last 4 albums lack originality unfortunately. Until the End is fine but not on the same level as Oracle. They should've went into Industrial Death Metal. They're almost hard rock now. Almost.

    G.... U....

    I don't know what you are smoking but sonically, both In The Black and I've Failed You are heavier than Oracle... Faster paced riffs, much more double bass, more defined screams from Morgan while death metal growls pop up from Mercedes in songs like Already Dead, Forgive and Forget, I've Failed You, My Plague, etc.

    They are more thrashy now, and while I love Oracle, it had a more dark melodic metal feel... that doesn't make it heavier. Also, I've seen them around 15-20 times in concert and I can absolutely guarantee that they are WAYYY heavier and better live now then they were circa 2001. Not even a contest. If you compare songs like Spit, Raven, Pain, Oracle, or Severed to more recent songs like Already Dead, I've Failed You, Flower of Flesh and Blood, Forgive and Forget, Ugly, The Truth- you can tell that the latter is heavier. The riffs chunkier, the vocals more sinister, and overall just better. Yes, they do have some songs that are more melodic and spunky than in the past, but I feel it has more to do with evolution and maturity than them getting "less metal".

  14. V.... B....

    DAYUM KITTIE IS SO FKN HOT.

  15. A.... M....

    Morgan is so great when she screams 
    Mercedes is great as always too love them both
    for sex or not haven't thought about that yet

    A.... M....

    I will love u

  16. s.... ....

    Tara McLeod - class act guitarist all the way.  The blend of her influences in this band is SO OBVIOUS and really helps define their sound and direction as a metal band.  Choice of chords, guitar harmony work, and classy leads - the trade mark of a GREAT guitar player.  Rock it girl!

  17. T.... A....

    Kittie is no doubt one of the best and in my opinion one of the most underrated bands out right now.

  18. K.... ....

    Never gets old \m/

  19. C.... M....

    ive been following kittie since there albulm with the song Brackish and just keep tweaking there skills and getting better i love it!

  20. A.... S....

    10 years and counting Ive had a crush on Morgan....Love Kittie!

  21. T.... C....

    Making rock smoke!  Great performance!

  22. F.... F....

    I just came here .......and I just came here....

  23. l.... ....

    this is why all females worldwide should have black hair. should be a statute.

    l.... ....

    I never said she always had black hair.

    l.... ....

    she would look good with a shaved head with her face. not that I'm into shaved heads with chicks.

  25. b.... s....

    If you know death metal, then you know they have death metal edge. Just because every song doesnt have the same rapid drums.

  26. D.... R....

    Great band and incredible voice! and guitarist is playing with the Opeth's Mike Akerfeldt PRS signature!

    D.... R....

    Daniel Russo I just noticed the O on it 🤘🏻

  27. f.... l....

    una de mis canciones favoritas de kittie

  28. j.... j....

    then listen to something else

  29. J.... ....

    Tara continually impresses me as a guitarist. It's relatively unfortunate she's chosen metalcore, as the genre has some natural restrictions as opposed to something like death metal where you can just balls-to-the-wall it, but regardless she manages to do a great job in whatever genre she chooses.

  30. W.... C....

    That little guitar solo Is epic!

  31. s.... ....

    NEEDS MORE RAWRRRR!!!!!! IF YOU ASK ME!!!!!! xD

  32. M.... ....

    Marry Me Mercedes

    Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  46. H.... ....

    A penis?

  47. J.... M....

    Amazing, love the new lead guitar player...

  48. S.... K....

    I'm sorry but Kittie is NOT metalcore... They actually stand out in the metal world

  49. S.... L....

    Youve apparently never heard of As I Lay Dying, Devildriver, Heaven Shall Burn, etc

  50. j.... ....

    Hot damn, that was awesome. I've not looked up Kittie in a while, but wow, that is some robust metalcore happening.

  51. l.... ....

    YOU ALL LOOK SO BEAUTIFUL!!! LOVE IT!!! I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT KITTIE!! ;) .. I GUESS YOU CAN SAY THAT I'M A KITTIE FREAK! SO FUCKING WHAT? THEY ARE THE BEST TRUE METAL BAND OUT THERE RIGHT NOW! THEY AT LEAST KEEP KITTIE ALIVE AS KITTIE AND NOT SOME BAND THEY DIDNT START OUT AS! THATS WHY I LOVE THEM SO MUCH!!!!! XOXO OH AND THEY HAVE AMAZING PERSONALITIES! ;)

  52. A.... R....

    Oooo yesssssss

  53. m.... ....

    Been a huge fan of Kittie since the beginning!

  54. M.... B....

    kittie is now the metallica of female rock/metal... no metal left and just commercial rock bullcheese!! some of em are still sexy tho ...

  55. M.... P....

    TWUPRIDE, true, true. Keyboards and beer don't mix well.

  56. M.... F....

    if it wasn't for the annoying clean vocals...I'd be all about it. They're certainly better than they've ever been.

  57. A.... B....

    this should have more views :P fucking love kittie!!!

  58. b.... ....

    to see their boobs just saying <___<

  59. M.... P....

    I just through up in my mouth...

  60. P.... ....

    dont like the scremo part :/

  61. 1.... s....

    could u imagine boning her, then her doin her cheesy death voice," GET IN THERE, DEEPER, OOOH IT FEEELS SOO GOODD"

  62. L.... ....

    Sexual intercourse.

  63. s.... ....

    i remember seening kittie when they opend up for my friend's band called relative ash man thoses girls are kick ass always put on a good show this was back in 2001 to bad relative ash isnt around anymore

  64. P.... v....

    Hässliche juden

  65. A.... H....

    actual good looks?

  66. b.... ....

    I like em!

  67. D.... ....

    You guys need to understand im just making a joke.. not saying the Music is bad..;)

  68. K.... ....

    You must think you're extremely classy.

  69. u.... ....

    lol yeahhh search up Bloodbath or Cannibal Corpse and tell me how Kittie fits into their category of metal ;D hahaha

  70. N.... S....

    @music4life107 I know. Im just saying that her backing vocals are death growls. Kittie is no where near death metal though, just her growls.

  71. r.... ....

    I'm jealous

  72. w.... ....

    Hey guy's.....Kittie's death metal!

  73. N.... S....

    Mercedes vocals are death metal growls I'd say.

  74. C.... R....

    Death metal and black metal are completely separate. The growls themselves are always low.

  75. C.... R....

    I've only been into em for two years and seen em 5 times, haha, they're amazing live :)

  76. C.... R....

    6 not including EPs; Spit, Oracle, Until the End, Funeral for Yesterday, In the Black and I've Failed You.

  77. C.... R....

    How are these closer to death metal growls? Dude, do you even perform either vocal style? Or do you just listen to them and assume you know just because you listen to Cannibal Corpse and Cradle of Filth?

  78. D.... ....

    i dont, imagine how batshit crazy these girls probably are

  79. 2.... ....

    I think i'm in love...

  80. c.... ....

    her voice somehow reminds me Mike Patton (singing parts)

  81. A.... ....

    man i wish i was their tour buss driver...

  82. C.... R....

    No, that's where you are wrong. Death metal growls are much lower than this. Just because they aren't a black metal band doesn't mean it isn't black metal shrieking, for Kittie is not death metal either.

  83. F.... ....

    the first time i hear their song called brackish, and DING !! i love them.

  84. g.... c....

    elite work the four youngest and most beautifull women in metal.......pinnacle combination will last forever...........................well done well done

  85. M.... ....

    After discovering them back in late 90's, here I am a decade later, going see them play live this month in Portland. FUCKING FINALLY!! I CAN'T WAIT!

  86. I.... B....

    6 Albums and a few EP's.

  87. M.... G....

    good looks and talent, what more could you ask for? :D

  88. L.... C....

    morgan lander <3

  89. A.... ....

    @GloryThyName she'd kick ur ficking ass in the kitchen if u would tell that to her face

  90. l.... ....

    im used to male death metal :P gimme a break

  91. l.... ....

    probably ;) but still i like the rest :P

  92. j.... g....

    please dont say its screamo, its metal growls, im guessing you think screamo because she has a lighter voice ^.^

  93. C.... R....

    @luciano1kreuger Screamo? That's black metal shrieking, kid.

  94. l.... ....

    i dont like the screamo that the girl sings, i would say get a guy for that caus the female voice at clean singing is way better. But you guys enjoy it ;). it aints bad :P

  95. D.... ....

    The editing of this video is genius. Perfect way to turn backyard footage into an epic song.

  96. A.... Q....

    Haters gonna hate. 29 people have no idea what talent is.

  97. G.... ....

    i was actually kinda into this until the terribad singing started.

  98. i.... ....

    @bussalt phew... nope its just shit.... really nothing else... gosh the song is really bad and not toooo good

  99. S.... ....

    i love them.

    |m|

  100. E.... ....

    @MrKonyaDave If I'm not mistaken it is the Mikeal Akerfeldt model.
