In Memory of Tony Hsieh...
I only knew him for a short time, and I've been struggling to process his untimely death, so I poured my feelings into this song. I will always be grateful for the support Tony showed me, and filled with regret that I didn't get to know him longer. He was a very rare soul, a true Visionary, and a builder of Empires.

LYRICS:
a world in shock, the sudden loss of a future vision
a fallen king, his lofty dream I would have loved to live in

the legacy you left behind
a tragedy of stolen time
when I looked into your life
I saw the warning signs… in your eyes

empires rise
you built them tall
higher highs
higher walls
your kingdom was a paradise
you seemed to have it all
in the end it’s not your fault
empires rise,
empires fall

With sycophants and truer friends enlisting in your dream
a desperate quest for happiness existing in extremes

the mystery you left behind
your history now redefined
why you reached for the divine
despite the warning signs… in your eyes

empires rise
you built them tall
higher highs
and higher walls
your kingdom was a paradise
you seemed to have it all
in the end it’s not your fault
empires rise

it’s a lonely throne, a lonely throne, a lonely throne that you held
and I’m the one, oh I’m the one, yeah I’m the one who failed

empires rise
empires rise
your kingdom will continue
your legacy lives on
in the end it’s not all gone
empires rise
