Crown the Empire Lyrics

This is your time
You are reaching the end of your life, and this is the moment where you must decide what to do.

Your life's flashing before your eyes
As your life comes to a close, you are seeing all the key moments play out once more.

And soon enough you will realize that this is goodbye
It is almost time for you to exit this world, and there is no going back.

But what if I gave you a chance?
There is still a possibility for you to change your fate.

You just have to sell your soul
The only way to keep living is through giving up your soul.

Look around, what do you see?
Think about the choices you had in life and whether you made the most of them.

The choices you never had the guts to make?
Were there opportunities you missed because you didn't have the courage to take them?

I'm sorry you never could be the man that you wanted
You may regret not being able to fulfill your dreams of who you wanted to be.

But regret is wasted on me
This is a declaration that feeling sorry for yourself won't help you, as you cannot change the past.

I can feel air inside my lungs again
You have been given another chance to live.

All because of you
This relies on another person, who gave you that second chance.

This feeling's amazing, I know
The sensation of being alive again is powerful and wonderful.

But be careful, you know not what you wish for
Although exciting, new opportunities will also bring new challenges and risks.

Granted life again but now you've cheated death
You technically should have died, but instead you were brought back to life.

There's no where to run when you run from yourself
You cannot escape your own conscience or your own choices.

But fear not for as long as you live you are mine
Although the deal involves giving up your soul, you will still have a life to live.

And even in death you will find
Even after you die, you will still be under the control of the person who granted you new life.

You've lived with regret for so long but now
Before being given this opportunity, you carried the weight of regret on your shoulder.

Is your chance to change what has been wrong
This is your one opportunity to make things right, and turn your life around.

And I know that my destiny wasn't written in the stars
Destiny is not yet set; it can still change through the right decisions and actions.

It was just a part of satellites and it's all because of you
Your destiny has not yet been written, and it can still change. The person who granted you new life was the catalyst for that change.

Don't ever trust the devil, bitch!
The person who gave you another chance may not have good intentions for you in the end.

I never wanted this
You may regret taking the deal in the end.

(It's time that you suffered the consequence)
Ultimately, making deals with the devil has negative consequences for everyone involved.

I should have know my time was up
You should have accepted death as a natural part of life instead of making deals for another chance at life.

(I gave you your time, and now your soul is mine)
The person who granted you another chance now owns your soul, and this will be the price extracted for an extended life.

I can't feel air inside my lungs
In the end, death is an inevitable outcome.

I'm dead
You have passed from this world and onto the next.

All because of
This implies that the person you trusted may not have had your best interests at heart.

You!
The person who granted you a second chance in life.

All because of you!
The person who granted you a second chance in life. This is a repetition of the prior line to emphasize the feeling of betrayal.

I can't rebuild my life and start again
Death means that there is no chance of starting a new life.

All because of you!
This is a final declaration that the individual who granted you a second chance was the root of all your suffering.
