Empire

Lyrics

[Hook] You've got your guards and they've got their guns They're overworked, and you've never, ever won a thing In your life [Verse One] I've got my dreams, and I've got my sleep And I've been promised a pill that's gonna keep These visions of an empire at peace [Pre-Chorus] 'Cause my heart is my keep And you are threatening me 'Cause my heart is my keep And you are threatening me [Chorus] Oh, my God You're the one I've been holding out For, for so damn long, for so damn long And you're a far cry from an empire at peace [Verse Two] I've got my knives and my heart up my sleeves But this weather's getting too nice for me To keep an empire at peace [Pre-Chorus] 'Cause my heart is my keep And you are threatening me 'Cause my heart is my keep And you are threatening me [Chorus] Oh, my God You're the one I've been holding out For, for so damn long, for so damn long And you're a far cry from an empire... [Hook] You've got your guards and they've got their guns They're overworked, and you've never, ever won a thing In your life [Pre-Chorus] 'Cause my heart is my keep And you are threatening me 'Cause my heart is my keep And you are threatening me [Chorus] Oh, my God You're the one I've been holding out For, for so damn long, for so damn long Hey! Oh, my God You're the one I've been holding out For, for so damn long, for so damn long
