Empire - Dar Williams[00:00:00]
Who's afraid of the sun[00:00:00]
Who'd question[00:00:04]
The goodness of the mighty[00:00:04]
We who banish the threat[00:00:07]
When your little ones[00:00:10]
All go nighty nighty[00:00:12]
Well[00:00:14]
There's no time for doubt right now[00:00:14]
And less time to explain[00:00:18]
So get back on your horses[00:00:21]
Kiss my ring[00:00:24]
Join our next campaign[00:00:26]
And the empire grows with the news[00:00:28]
That we're winning[00:00:32]
With more fear to conquer[00:00:34]
And more gold thread for spinning[00:00:37]
Bright as the sun[00:00:41]
Shining on everyone[00:00:43]
Some would say that[00:00:47]
We forced our words[00:00:48]
And we find that[00:00:51]
Ingenuously churlish[00:00:51]
Words are just words[00:00:54]
Don't be so pessimistic[00:00:57]
Weak and girlish[00:00:59]
We like strong[00:01:01]
Happy people[00:01:02]
Who don't think[00:01:04]
There's something wrong with pride[00:01:05]
Work makes them free[00:01:09]
And we spread that[00:01:11]
Freedom far and wide[00:01:12]
And the empire grows[00:01:15]
The seeds of it's glory[00:01:18]
For every five tanks[00:01:21]
Plant a sentimental story[00:01:24]
Till they worship the sun[00:01:28]
Even Christ loving ones[00:01:30]
And we'll kill the terror who rises[00:01:35]
And a million of their races[00:01:38]
But when our people torture you[00:01:41]
That's a few random cases[00:01:45]
Don't question the sun[00:01:48]
It doesn't help anyone[00:01:50]
But the journalist cried out[00:01:54]
When it was too late to stop us[00:01:58]
Everyone had awakened[00:02:02]
To the dream[00:02:04]
They could enter our colossus[00:02:05]
And now I'm right[00:02:08]
Here you said I'm right[00:02:10]
There's nothing that can harm me[00:02:12]
Cause the sun never sets[00:02:15]
On my dungeons or my army[00:02:18]
And the empire fell[00:02:21]
On it's own splintered axis[00:02:25]
And the emperor wanes[00:02:28]
As the silver moon waxes[00:02:32]
And the farmers will find our coins[00:02:35]
In their strawberry fields[00:02:38]
While somebody somewhere[00:02:42]
Twists his ring as someone kneels[00:02:45]
Oh where is the sun[00:02:48]
Shining for everyone[00:02:51]
Oh where is the sun[00:02:55]
Shining for everyone[00:02:58]
