Empire Lyrics

We're friends or we're enemies

And that's how it's gonna be

So, make up your mind

I don't have the time

Don't play pretend with me

I'm easy to vilify

And they fabricate the lies

So, I build my walls high

I choose who gets by

I won't be victimized

You think that you know me

You just want to control me

But I won't be held down

You can't stop me now

You can't stop me now

Sticks and stones may break my bones

But I used your wicked words to build my throne

I'm the Queen of Wands, can't control my fire

And I'm on my way to build an empire

I've worn my heart on my sleeve

And it got ripped off of me

I've grown from the fear

Not from the years

Yeah, but I still believe

There's beauty in tragedy

Perspective is alchemy

It's darkest before dawn, I'm still holding on

Ascend into majesty

You think that you know me

You just want to control me

But I won't be held down

You can't stop me now

You can't stop me now

Sticks and stones may break my bones

But I used your wicked words to build my throne

I'm the Queen of Wands, can't control my fire

And I'm on my way to build an empire

Empire

Brick by brick, stone by stone

Wicked words just build my throne

If you kick me when I'm down

I won't forget when I wear the crown

Sticks and stones may break my bones

But I used your wicked words to build my throne

I'm the Queen of Wands, can't control my fire

And I'm on my way to build an empire

Sticks and stones may break my bones

But I used your wicked words to build my throne

I'm the Queen of Wands, can't control my fire

And I'm on my way to build an empire
