August Burns Red "Empire"

I believe this song is about the human race using cleverness as a means of pride and power. To me, the song talks about a God-given creativity that should be used for bringing about purpose but instead it's so often distorted and manipulated. Enjoy :)

Lyrics:

Skyscrapers, Earthmovers, Ground Breakers
Our buildings rival the Heavens
Our bridges span the seas

Ingenuity is so cunning
Innovation is not ours
Creativity is a luxury
We build with our hands what we have in our hearts

Fight the Avalanche
You'll be buried everytime
We run and run and run
Keep falling behind
Fight the Avalanche
You'll be buried everytime
We run and run and run

Always last in line
Before lines were lines
Before time was time
The author wrote a story in the sky - and earth below
Little do we know
We have only what we're given

Light up the sky
Light up the sky
We're going where no man..
Little do we know
We have only what we're given
Light up the sky
We're going where no man's forgotten
All you are is all we want

It burns inside us all
We're finding heart in giving soul
We're walking home into thin air

We are justice fighters with faces of fire
Many walk away, but we stand firm
We are justice fighters with faces of fire
Our decisions affect our descendants
We are justice fighters with faces of fire

Skyscrapers, Earthmovers, Ground Breakers
Our footsteps, bringing purpose, changing history
Skyscrapers, Earthmovers, Ground Breakers
Our footsteps, bringing purpose, changing history
