Driving into the fog, in search of something to call our own
Away from the constant feeling of being alone
To build a legacy with our bare hands
To forge a connection with this downtrodden land
So that someday we can tell them
Brick by brick we built this empire
Brick by brick we’re taking it down
Brick by brick we built this empire
Brick by brick we’re taking it down
Arms stretched out over the water
We’ve become the rebel sons and daughters
Moving with no end in sight
Ready to put up a fight
So that someday we can tell them
Brick by brick we built this empire
Brick by brick we’re taking it down
Brick by brick we built this empire
Brick by brick we’re taking it down
We were the first to love
We were the first to break
We were the first to shed these tears
And to live these myths we made
Brick by brick by brick...
Brick by brick we built this empire
Brick by brick we’re taking it down
Brick by brick we built this empire
Brick by brick we’re taking it down
