Blues Traveler ~ Fallen Empire


Here's to the fallen empire, and all the treasure there Here's to the fallen empire, and i just don't care A toast to the mighty buildings That cluttered up the sky And i'll drink to all those fine, brave lads Who gave it their best try The armies came on charging But the battle lasted a day By dawn the conquest halted there And a handful rode away So here's to the fallen empire, and all the treasure there Here's to the fallen empire, and i just don't care With the general dead and buried The corporal of resource Rallied up the small remains Of once-undefeated force Their final charge came quickly Their horses seemed to fly Each man knew an age had ended Each man knew he'd die So here's to the fallen empire, and all the treasure there Hip hip hooray for the fallen empire, and i just don't care The defenders made quick work of them And the war was finally won An era's culture grew no more And a new era begun The defenders, now the conquerors Grow docile with desire Their expansion surely justified now All hail the new empire So here's to the fallen empire, and all the treasure there Here's to the fallen empire, and i just can't seem to care You know, that was many empires ago Many since have rose and fell Many more shall rise under god and heaven And ride off into hell Their children have our faces Their children we're among And as i too dream, my turn draws near Because i am that young So here's to the fallen empire, and all the treasure there Here's to the fallen empire, and i really don't care I can hear it call to me Like a wolf howls to the moon You know, now there is no life up there We'll colonize it soon So here's to our falling empire And all that's fine and fair Come ride with me for an emperor's crown I'm young and i just don't care So here's to the fallen empire, and all the trouble there Here's to the fallen empire, i'm a young man and i just don't care more free lyrics

Here's to the fallen empire, and all the treasure there
Here's to the fallen empire, and i just don't care

A toast to the mighty buildings
That cluttered up the sky
And i'll drink to all those fine, brave lads
Who gave it their best try
The armies came on charging
But the battle lasted a day
By dawn the conquest halted there
And a handful rode away

So here's to the fallen empire, and all the treasure there
Here's to the fallen empire, and i just don't care

With the general dead and buried
The corporal of resource
Rallied up the small remains
Of once-undefeated force
Their final charge came quickly
Their horses seemed to fly
Each man knew an age had ended
Each man knew he'd die

So here's to the fallen empire, and all the treasure there
Hip hip hooray for the fallen empire, and i just don't care

The defenders made quick work of them
And the war was finally won
An era's culture grew no more
And a new era begun
The defenders, now the conquerors
Grow docile with desire
Their expansion surely justified now
All hail the new empire

So here's to the fallen empire, and all the treasure there
Here's to the fallen empire, and i just can't seem to care

You know, that was many empires ago
Many since have rose and fell
Many more shall rise under god and heaven
And ride off into hell
Their children have our faces
Their children we're among
And as i too dream, my turn draws near
Because i am that young

So here's to the fallen empire, and all the treasure there
Here's to the fallen empire, and i really don't care

I can hear it call to me
Like a wolf howls to the moon
You know, now there is no life up there
We'll colonize it soon
So here's to our falling empire
And all that's fine and fair
Come ride with me for an emperor's crown
I'm young and i just don't care

So here's to the fallen empire, and all the trouble there
Here's to the fallen empire, i'm a young man and i just don't care

Globalized Sounds

Today, beautiful European and American music, an Afrobeats recorded in Lagos, can play in headphones in Tokyo; a South Korean idol group can fill an Argentine stadium to capacity. On Spotify, the playback volume of African music has increased by 500% in five years; K-pop has already transcended the Asian border and become a common language for young people all over the world; Latin music has consistently topped the streaming charts for several consecutive years. The world is getting smaller while the scope of music is expanding.

The Power of the Scene

When the lights dim and the first note is played, strangers become synchronized. The tremor when thousands sing together, and the melody that still echoes after the crowd disperses - this is an experience that no screen can convey. We look forward to the return of large-scale concerts to the essence of music, and we also look forward to small livehouses continuing to nourish the most vibrant soil of music.

Crossing Borders

Music transcends languages - even if you don't understand the lyrics, you can still shed tears or dance. It transcends cultures - the drumbeats of Nigeria and the chants of Iceland coexist under the same sky. It transcends generations - a song from half a century ago can still bring tears to the eyes of today's young people.

We Create Together

The future of global music is not determined by algorithms, nor is it monopolized by a few giants. It is shaped by every person who presses the play button. Maintain your curiosity, step out of your comfort zone. Support independent musicians and attend live performances. Seek connections through music - because we believe that a song can change a day, and music can change the world.
