Lyrics
[VERSE 1]
I see the towers reaching for the sky,
Built on promises that slowly learned to lie,
Gold on the walls, but the foundation's weak,
Everybody's strong until the pressure starts to speak.
Crowns start shaking, kings start losing control,
Pride gets heavy when it's crushing your soul,
We watched them rise, we watched them stand tall,
Now we're standing in the silence, watching empires fall.
[PRE-CHORUS]
But I won't run when the darkness comes,
I won't break when the battle is won,
If everything around me disappears,
I'll still be standing through the smoke and tears.
[CHORUS]
Konnichiwa, it's been a while, I see you all still there
If you din in the past, I'll show the truth with heavy care
It's been a long shot, I don't like to play those sports
Abraham and Sarah, I see no error, none at all
But the world is full of error, watching empires fall
Like a glitchy computer, I am going to explode
Keeping on the rhythm as I pace along the road
[VERSE 2]
They had the power, they had the throne,
They thought they could never fall alone,
But time don't care about a famous name,
Every fire eventually fades into the rain.
Walls can crumble, statues turn to dust,
Promises disappear when there's no more trust,
History remembers every rise and fall,
And tomorrow could be writing our names on the wall.
[CHORUS]
Konnichiwa, it's been a while, I see you all still there
If you din in the past, I'll show the truth with heavy care
It's been a long shot, I don't like to play those sports
Abraham and Sarah, I see no error, none at all
But the world is full of error, watching empires fall
Like a glitchy computer, I am going to explode
Keeping on the rhythm as I pace along the road
[RAP – FAST / POWERFUL]
Yeah!
I came from the bottom, now I'm looking up,
Life tried to drown me, I refused to give up,
Brick by brick, I'm building my lane,
Turned every loss into fuel for the flame.
They wanted me quiet, I came with a sound,
They thought I was finished, I'm still around,
Empires fall but the dream stays alive,
You can bury the dream, but it still survives.
No crown on my head, but I'm king of my fight,
Walk through the darkness, I'm chasing the light,
Let the old world collapse, let the weak walls fall,
I'll build something stronger from the wreckage of it all!
[BRIDGE]
When the sky turns black,
And there's nowhere to go,
I'll remember who I am,
I'll remember what I know.
Let the thunder roll,
Let the old walls break,
Sometimes you have to lose it all
For a new world to awake.
[CHORUS]
Konnichiwa, it's been a while, I see you all still there
If you din in the past, I'll show the truth with heavy care
It's been a long shot, I don't like to play those sports
Abraham and Sarah, I see no error, none at all
But the world is full of error, watching empires fall
Like a glitchy computer, I am going to explode
Keeping on the rhythm as I pace along the road
[FINAL CHORUS / OUTRO]
Watching empires fall,
But I'm still standing tall,
When the last stone hits the ground,
I'll be the one who makes a sound.
Watching empires fall,
I won't be afraid at all,
From the ashes I'll arise,
With a fire in my eyes.
[OUTRO – SOFT]
Let them fall...
Let them fade...
From the ruins,
We'll build again.
I see the towers reaching for the sky,
Built on promises that slowly learned to lie,
Gold on the walls, but the foundation's weak,
Everybody's strong until the pressure starts to speak.
Crowns start shaking, kings start losing control,
Pride gets heavy when it's crushing your soul,
We watched them rise, we watched them stand tall,
Now we're standing in the silence, watching empires fall.
