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.

Take off all of your skin

I'm brave when you are free

Shake off all of your sins

And give them to me

Closer, let me back in

I wanna' be yours, wanna' be your hero

And my heart beats

Like the empires of the world unite

We are alive

And the stars make love to the universe

You're my wildfire every single night

We are alive

And the stars make love to the universe

And you touch me

And I'm like, and I'm like, and I'm like

Oooooh

And I'm like, ooh

And I'm like, ooh

And I'm like, ooh

I will follow you down wherever you go

I am, baby, I'm bound to you

And you know

Closer, pull me in tight

I wanna' be yours, wanna' be your hero

And my heart beats

Like the empires of the world unite

We are alive

And the stars make love to the universe

You're my wildfire every single night

We are alive

And the stars make love to the universe

And you touch me

And I'm like, and I'm like, and I'm like

Ooh, we are alive

And I'm like, oooh

We are alive, oooh

I'm just gonna raise my head

Walk up to the final edge

And I'm gonna fall

(And the stars make love to the universe)

I'm just gonna raise my head

And hold you close

Like the empires of the world unite

We are alive

And the stars make love to the universe

You're my wildfire every single night

We are alive

And the stars make love to the universe

And you touch me

And I'm like, and I'm like, and I'm like

Ooh

And I'm like,ooh

And I'm like, ooh

And I'm like, ooh
