Uh, yeah, not like this.
If you're sitting around waiting for the empire to fall, then it's never going to fall. Empires fall because people make them fall.
And it's going to be achieved with blood...
Also, ask when Rome fell, historians wont agree on any specific date. They were never the top of the town afterwards, but the fall was more of a gradual multi-century tumble punctuated by hitting every rock on the way down.
