As Cities Burn Empire Lyrics

Empire Lyrics

And I was a middle son

Between two wayward ones

I was more deserving of my parent's love



I had an angel's smile

Hiding a vulture's bite

I had no use for Your redeeming blood

Aren't I glory, glorious?



Glory, glorious

Aren't we glory, glorious?

Aren't we worthy, worthy of

Hearts at our feet?



'Cause I was a Pharisee

I never saw my need for grace

Then your love, it came to me

Stood next to mine

And I saw that I was poor



It showed me I was poor

Show us, we are

Show us, we are



Glory, glorious

We are glory, glorious

Not from what good we have done

But from being the least



Glory, glorious

We are glory, glorious

Not from what good we have done

But from being the least



Glory, glorious

Glory, glorious

Oh, I don't know

How I was made



My heaven tower sways

Atop their fleeting praise

God, I don't know

How I was made



Glory, glorious

Are we glory, glorious?

Are we worthy, worthy of

Hearts at our feet?



Glory, glorious

We are glory, glorious

Not from what we've done

But being the least



I was a wicked one
