Empires Slowly Fall
Boy makes his history homework in the living room
He doesn't hear the doorbell ring
Just as Athens invades Troy
Dad walks in with a cookie box and a newspaper
Mom whispers dad secrets in his ear
Boy hears parts of the conversation
Alexander of Macedon now owns half a continent
Dad says that half the paycheck is gone
And within the pages of the time that was lost
People are done for in a single moment
Empires slowly fall
Everything will be fine, dad reassures
Mom now replies with a smile
The empire soldier has reached the end of the continent
Boy falls asleep and dreams of battles of old
And within the pages of the time that was lost
People are done for in a single moment
Empires slowly fall
