I foresaw twenty-four horses up ahead.
In one foul swoop I reached for my cross bow
and I know that I fire for nothing.

Dont you know the man,
Empires
Don't you know the time,
Expires
Dont you know the man,
Empires
Don't you know the time,
Expires
I will forgive everything.

In rank and file they planned to slay us where we stand.
As you concluded nothing here is ever done till something has destroyed some one.

Dont you know the man,
Empires
Don't you know the time,
Expires
Dont you know the man,
Empires
Don't you know the time,
Expires
I will forget everything.

Dont you know the man,
Empires
Don't you know the time,
Expires
Dont you know the man,
Empires
Don't you know the time,
Expires
I will forego everything.
