Lyrics
Byzantine
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.
spin my dradle and I will split your atom
spin the bottle and I will play assassin
never sure to go for we fear the empire (the empire)
never sure to go for we fear the empire (the empire)
oh-oh-oh-oh...
bare medals crumble on
well I'm waiting for the sun to go out
(it won't fear)
tripping like a sunday
stand up at my doorstep (ain't no fear)
clowning like a fig and
wearing down a bore's head
I will not to help you
I will not to wake up (ain't no fear)
I will not to fast you
if you're not in close up
you can help me figure out this time
figure out this time
never sure to go for we fear the empire (the empire)
never sure to go for we fear the empire (the empire)
