Empire lyrics

[Verse 1]

Feel the ocean as it breathes

Shivering teeth

See the mountains where they meet

Smothering me

As the wind fends off the waves

I count down the days

Heavy stones

Fear no weather

[Verse 2]

I find comfort in the sound

And the shape of the heart

How it echoes through the chest

From under the ground

As the hills turn into holes

I fill them with gold

Heavy stones

Fear no weather

[Chorus]

And from the rain

Comes a river running wild that will create

An empire for you

Illuminate!

There's a river running wild that will create

An empire for you

An empire for two

An empire for you

An empire for two

[Verse 3]

And I paint your body black

I hide in your hair

And you're staring back at me

Like I wasn't there

As our bodies become stills

We welcome the fear

Heavy stones

Fear no weather

[Chorus]

And from the rain

Comes a river running wild that will create

An empire for you

Illuminate!

There's a river running wild that will create

An empire for you

An empire for two

An empire for you

An empire for two

[Bridge Instrumental]

[Chorus]

And from the rain

Comes a river running wild that will create

An empire for you

Illuminate!

There's a river running wild that will create

An empire for you

An empire for two

An empire for you

An empire for two
