Empire by Ella Henderson Lyrics

[Intro]
Build our love and we'll

[Verse 1]
See your light
I know who's coming in, I'm terrified
No more defenses here to hide behind
Oh, just you and I

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
And now that I'm awake
I'm not afraid of letting go tonight

[Chorus]
'Cause we found strength in each other's arms
We built this love and we made it our empire, empire, empire
And you and I could rule each other's hearts
We'll build our love and we'll make it our empire, empire, empire
[Verse 3]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
So let the drums roll, the cannons blow
We're letting go tonight

[Chorus]
'Cause we found strength in each other's arms
We built this love and we made it our empire, empire, empire
And you and I could rule each other's hearts
We'll build our love and we'll make it our empire, empire, empire

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

[Chorus]
'Cause we found strength in each other's arms
We built this love and we made it our empire, empire, empire
And you and I could rule each other's hearts
We'll build our love and we'll make it our empire, empire, empire
[Outro]
They'll never take it down, take it down
Burn it down, burn us down
Take it down, take down our empire
