Lyrics
Empire Ants
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Oh, joys are us, the Sun has come again to hold you
Sailing out the doldrums of the week
The polyphonic prairies here, it's all around you
It's all around you, out here
And if the whole world is crashing down (on you)
Fall through space out of mind with me
Where the emptiness we leave behind on warm air rising
Blows all the shadows far away
The falling of the whole empire is here, to hold you
Rolling out and haunted till it sleeps
Little memories, marching on
Your little feet, working the machine
Say will it spin, will it soar?
My little dream, working the machine
Soon, like a wave, empires will fall
And closing in on my room, they're building walls
Little memories
Your little feet, working the machine
Say will it spin, will it soar?
My little dream, working the machine
Soon like a wave, empires will fall
And closing in on my room, they're building walls
