| We held each other in the empire of hate
|
| Then dragged through dreams
|
| Our bodies set ablaze
|
| Become two ghosts of sunday film
|
| Like sister and brother
|
| Kissing myself, holding myself
|
| As if you were somebody else
|
| In the empire of my soul
|
| From an empire long, long ago
|
| Beacons of passion in the empire of doom
|
| Fell like a nuke into my black pupil
|
| I know I’m unbelievable
|
| To those I can’t relate to
|
| And if I ever did with you
|
| Could I escape the unfullfilled doom
|
| Having a laugh behind my back
|
| In the empire of my heart?
|
| As the empire falls apart?
|
| Through the stained glass I see fire
|
| In the empire
|
| In the empire
|
| In the empire |
