Empire

Feel the ocean as it breathes, shivering teeth

See the mountains where they meet, smotherin me

As the wind fends off the waves, I count down the days

Heavy stones fear no weather

I find comfort in the sound, and the shape of the heart

How it echoes through the chest from under the ground

As the hills turn into holes, I fill them with gold

Heavy stones fear no weather

And from the rain comes a river running wild

Illuminate, there’s a river running wild that will create

an empire for you

an empire for two

an empire for you

an empire for two

And I paint your body black, I hide in your hair

And you’re staring back at me like I wasn’t there

As our bodies become stills, we welcome the fear

Heavy stones fear no weather

And from the rain comes a river running wild

Illuminate, there’s a river running wild that will create

an empire for you

an empire for two

an empire for you

an empire for two

And from the rain comes a river running wild

Illuminate, there’s a river running wild that will create

an empire for you

an empire for two

an empire for you

an empire for two

Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh whoa oh oh oh
