Empire - Sean Nicholas Savage

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
