Cover art for Empire (Let Them Sing) lyrics by Bring Me the Horizon

"It's all metaphorical. When you listen to it, it sounds like a man who thinks he's the ruler of an empire and could never be defeated, but he's on the brink of being defeated. It gives the feeling of people barricaded behind castle walls. It's about relapse and getting defeated again but not seeing the writing on the wall. " Oliver Sykes :) hope that helped
