Empires Fall with a Whisper

Empires don’t fall with fire. They fall with silence.

I seen weak men trade their name, For comfort, gold, and borrowed fame. I seen strong men hold the wall, Even as the kingdoms fall.

Empires fall with a whisper, not a roar, Weak men open the weakest door. Strong men stand when the walls decay, Holdin’ truth ‘til the end of days.

Weak men sleep while the fire dies, Strong men guard with steady eyes. Weak men laugh when the cracks appear, Strong men rise when the end is near.

Empires fall with a whisper, not a roar, Weak men scatter, strong endure more. Don’t be the shadow, silent and small— Be the strong man, standin’ tall.

The silence breaks. The stone gives way. But the strong still stand.

Empires fall with a whisper, not a roar, Weak men flee while the strong restore. When the dust swallows crown and throne— Strong men rise, but they rise alone.

The whisper’s louder… Than the roar.
