about

The latest release from the life-submerged Empires Decline. Perhaps this is our attempt at a ballad. We're really proud of it.

We have much more to shower you with soon, but please help by buying the track if you like it - and if you really like, help donate a little more towards mixing and mastering the album (yes, there is an album).

lyrics

*Lyrics*

Want to be all new
Bury me away inside the tune
All I know is in the fire
I haven't got a clue
All night, but I'm just waiting for you
All I know is in the fire

If you wear a yellow ribbon just for me
You know that I'll be alright
But given the darkness inside me tonight
Who knows if I am

Why then, ask the few
Do you wear a silken sign on you?
Justify a mindless cryer
Don't excuse him though
It’s tough but he’s just raining on you
All he knows is in the fire

If you wear a yellow ribbon just for me
You know that I'll be alright
But given the darkness inside me tonight
Who knows if I am

It’s just a phase I know
an episode
a plough stuck in deep snow
or a rainbow
