   G
I see your light
Am                          Em
I know it’s coming and I’m terrified
C                         G
No more defences here to hide behind
Am               Em C
Oh, just you and I

So let the drums roll, the cannons blow
And through the smoke
I see you burning like a ray of hope
I found the fire, now the ashes glow
Oh, come alive

              G
And now that I’m awake
     Am
I’m not afraid
     Em           C
I’m letting go tonight

 Chorus:
        G                        Am
'Cause we found strength in each others’ arms
    Em                     C
We built this love and we made it our
   G       Am     Em C
Empire, empire, empire
     G                      Am
And you and I can rule each others’ hearts
       Em                      C
We’ll build on love and we’ll make it our
   G       Am      Em C
Empire, empire, empire

Stone by stone
We'll build a tower we can call our own
So high that we'll forget the world below
Oh, just you and I

So let the drums roll, the cannons blow
We're letting go tonight

Chorus

                G
They’ll never take it down
Take it down
  Am
Burn it down
Burn us down
 Em
Take it down
                  C
Take down our empire
                G
They’ll never take it down
Take it down
 Am
Burn it down
Burn us down
 Em
Take it down
                 C
Take down our empire

Chorus

They'll never take it down, take it down
Burn it down, burn us down
Take it down, take down our empire
