Track Insight / Lyrics
You place a city on the sand.
You claim a piece of empty land.
The wooden walls are standing tall.
You wait to see the empire fall.
The ships arrive across the blue.
The old world meets a vision new.
You build a dock for every boat.
You keep the heavy cargo afloat.
Rise up the nation, carve the stone.
Claiming the world to call your own.
From the first fire to the steel light.
Hold the high ground through the night.
The muskets fire in a row.
You watch the red line start to grow.
The iron cannons shake the floor.
You open up the heavy door.
Rise up the nation, carve the stone.
Claiming the world to call your own.
From the first fire to the steel light.
Hold the high ground through the night.
The map is wide, the borders shift.
The heavy tides begin to drift.
One single spark can start the flame.
Forget the face, forget the name.
The gears are turning in the mill.
The working city never still.
You trade the silk for bolts of ore.
You bring the wealth back to your shore.
The jets are screaming through the haze.
The modern world is in a maze.
The satellites see every street.
The victory is now complete.
Rise up the nation, carve the stone.
Claiming the world to call your own.
From the first fire to the steel light.
Hold the high ground through the night.
The lamp is dim, the oil is low.
Watch the iron empire grow.
Watch it grow.
