Empire |
Who’s afraid of the sun? |
Who’d question the goodness of the mighty? |
We who banish the threat |
When your little ones all go nighty-nighty |
Well, there’s no time for doubt right now |
And less time to explain |
So get back on your horses |
Kiss my ring, join our next campaign |
And the Empire grows with the news that we’re winning |
With more fear to conquer |
And more gold thread for spinning |
Bright as the sun, shining on everyone |
Some would say that we forced our words |
And we find that ingenuously churlish |
Words are just words |
Don’t be so pessimistic, weak and girlish |
We like strong and happy people |
Who don’t think there’s something wrong with pride |
Work makes them free |
And we spread that freedom far and wide |
And the Empire grows, the seeds of its glory |
For every five tanks, plant a sentimental story |
Till they worship the sun |
Even Christ loving ones |
And we’ll kill the terror who rises |
And a million of their races |
But when our people torture you |
That’s a few random cases |
Don’t question the sun, it doesn’t help anyone |
But the journalist cried out |
«When it was too late to stop us |
Everyone had awakened to the dream |
They could enter our Colossus» |
And now I’m right, here you said I’m right |
There’s nothing that can harm me |
Cause the sun never sets |
On my dungeons or my army |
And the Empire fell |
On its own splintered axis |
And the Emperor wanes |
As the silver moon waxes |
And the farmers will find our coins |
In their strawberry fields |
While somebody somewhere |
Twists his ring as someone kneels |
Oh where is the sun shining for everyone? |
Oh where is the sun shining for everyone? |
