Empire
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.
Feel the ocean as it breathes
Shivering teeth
See the mountains where they meet
Smothering 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 that will create
An empire for you
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 that will create
An empire for you
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 that will create
An empire for you
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
