EMPIRE LYRICS

1. Chasing Shadows


Breathing new life into your world
Can you feel the change?
The fears that you hold, drift into the night
As the daylights ends

You need a reason to love
You need a reason to throw it away
You need a reason to love
Embracing your pain as a friend now
(Give me your hand and I'll lead you)

As I lie down beside you are you afraid
I wont turn away

I am the darkness, I am the light
I'll see you through this storm tonight
Waiting for sunrise to brighten, light the day/way
I am the one to chase the shadows away

We'll walk on the store
Like all those before
As we find our way
Follow your heart
We'll go back to the start
Find when the nightmare began

Give me a reason to love
Give me a reason to throw it away
Give me a reason to love
Embracing your pain as a friend now

As I lie down beside you are you afraid
I wont turn away

I am the darkness, I am the light
I'll see you through this storm tonight
Out of the shadows and into the light
I am the one to chase your shadows away

I am the darkness, I am the light
I'll see you through this storm tonight
Safe from the lightening
Safe from all harm
I am the one who will keep you warm

Safe from the darkness safe in the light
I am the one who will keep you safe tonight
Lost on the ocean lost in the storm
I am the one who will safe you from harm


2. The Alter


Lights in the distance we're travelling over the land and the sea
There's no resistance to the power corruption and greed
Speak with me holy man look me in the eye
Bleed with me holy man today is a good day to die

Kneel at the alter pray to your god
Lambs to the slaughter
Mercy from above
Kneel at the alter
Cast of your sins
Beg for forgiveness now it begins

The cry of the fallen is echoing over the land
One faded godhead intent in destroying mankind
Who then will save us who will pass the test
As evil surrounds us
How long will the suffering last

Kneel at the alter pray to your god
Lambs to the slaughter
Mercy from above
Kneel at the alter
Cast of your sins
Beg for forgiveness now it begins


3. Mother Father Holy Ghost


I am made of steel you are broken glass
I can make you feel the echo from the past
Moonlight a serenade daylight the masquerade
Time waits in the wings speaks of love and secret things

The spirit is willing the body is weak cry for the chosen
The passing of time is no friend of mine as we pass down the road

Mother father holy ghost who's the one that we trust the most
When the end comes to call who will be there
Mother father holy ghost who's the one that we trust the most
The cry of the raven fills the air

Sail on silver seas sundown's refuges
With god beside us who can fail holy love, holy hell
Thunder and lightning strikes the wheel turns through the night
Silence as one appears the mirror won't hide the years

The scream of the siren that shatters
The sky and in our hearts
Words that can chill us and freeze to the bone
As we search for a home

Mother father holy ghost who's the one that we trust the most
When the end comes to call who will be there
Mother father holy ghost who's the one that we trust the most
The cry of the raven fills the air

Don't you listen to faded godheads
Don't you listen to word of false prophets


4. Sail Away


Don't be reckless don't be foolish
Don't go wasting all the things that you adore
Don't be hasty but don't be nervous
Don't be listening to the voices in the dark
Cause when you call who will listen
Who will catch you when you fall or hold you when you're breaking down

Sail away we'll ride out on the ocean
Far out from the world that means to bring you down
Sail away we'll ride out on the ocean
Far out from the world that means you harm
Sail away, sail away

Don't be anxious, don't seek pity
Don't leave footprints on the sand for them to find
Don't be angry, don't be spiteful
Don't you fall asleep with trouble on your mind
Cause when you scream who will comfort
Who will hold your breaking heart or kiss you very tenderly

Sail away we'll ride out on the ocean
Far out from the world that means to bring you down
Sail away we'll ride out on the ocean
Far out from the world that means you harm
Sail away, sail away


5. Child Of The Light


Just look behind you, in the shadows there's a man you cannot see
Just look behind you and you'll see this man is me
Don't trust the starlight on a dark night
Don't believe in fantasy
Don't look for magic in this world of make believe

You're a child of the light, let the light be your friend
You're a child of the light, soon your darkness will end
Child of the light, child of the light, child of the light

They say we're different, point the finger
But to me they are all the same
Don't try to hide it, just embrace it, then we'll win
We'll come together, getting stronger
They can't steal our hearts away
And remember if you need me I'll be there

You're a child of the light, let the light be your friend
You're a child of the light, soon your darkness will end
Child of the light, child of the light, child of the light

Together we are stronger
Together we are standing tall
Child of the light

You're a child of the light, let the light be your friend
You're a child of the light, soon your darkness will end
Child of the light, child of the light, child of the light

Let me guide you let me walk beside you
Child of the light


6. Tahigwan Nights


In a darkened room in the Highlands
So close to the waters edge
Wine mixed with the starlight
What was done and what was said
I could tell that we had a reason
I could feel the majesty in the air
We were there on a wild Tahigwan night

The spirit starts to move
I can't hear my voice it gets lost among the big noise
The fire burned so deep
And if I live a thousand years
They'll be treasures that I keep

Oh thanks for the memories
Seems to be good time pass to soon

In a lonely room in a strange land
Blowing smoke rings in the air
Crushed live like my passion
Lying on the empty streets
Sweet curse of confusion
Now I know my time is at hand
It's getting closer to daybreak
This time I'm moving on

The spirit lost it's way
But don't let us cast the blame
I can still recall your name
And if the timings ever right
We can build the bridge we burnt
Cause I'm sure that we have learned

Oh thanks for the memories
Seems to be good time pass to soon
Oh thanks for the memories
Even though we live on distant shores


7. Manic Messiah


Show me the road to Calvary
I'll show you the cross where I died
I scream life is for ever if you follow me
Anything else is a lie

Ah heavenly

Show me the tomb where my body lay
The stone that rolled away
Walk in the garden of Gethsemane
Mary don't run Mary don't run

Heavenly father my time is now at hand
Heavenly father tell me will I rise

I am (the) Manic Messiah
I feel glorious
I am the Manic Messiah
My light will always shine on you

Here are the nails and my crown of thorns
That caused me so much pain
If I'm not the one who can save them all
Tell me did I die in vain

Heavenly father my time is now at hand
Heavenly father tell me will I rise

I am (the) Manic Messiah
I feel glorious
I am the Manic Messiah
My light will always shine on you

Ah heavenly

The wind that sweeps over the desert sands
The evil that blacks out the sun
The eyes of the blind fall on foreign lands
Pray for the daylight pray for the day


8. Angel And The Gambler


I made my deal with the devil and he dealt my cards
Thought I'd learned my lesson but I pushed to hard
I made my deal with the devil just to buy you one more day
He laughed at me and then he walked away
Walked away nothing left to say

Well I know my soul is burning, burning kinda not
Tears that fill my eyes they fall like rain
And I looking for an answer but it's very hard to find

I am the angel and the gambler but I couldn't save ya

Been sleeping through the long night been wondering where you gone
My emptiness is more that I can bear
I would give my soul to have you here for one more day
Seems to be the world ain't made that way
I'd have given everything to hold you in my arms
Or just to hear you footsteps on the stairs

I made my deal with the devil and he dealt my cards
Thought I'd learned my lesson but I pushed to hard
I made my deal with the devil just to buy you one more day
He laughed at me and then he walked away
Walked away nothing left to say


9. A Story Told


Are we the sons of god
Are we his chosen people
Kings of the universe
A challenge to face us all nations will rise or fall
Knowing the time is at hand
Behind the mask lies the tears of frustration
Tears at the heart of every nation

Tell me the story of how we'll save the world
Tell me the story of how we'll save us all
Tell me the story of how to save the world

Are we the sons of god
Are we his chosen people
Living in desperate times
How can we make a choice we don't even hear the voices
A world crippled on her knees
Behind the lies and the tales of confusion
The good things we have
We take and abuse them

Tell me the story of how we'll save the world
Tell me the story of how we'll save us all
Tell me the story of how to save the world

The rivers have dried up the oceans are filling up

Tell me the story of how we'll save the world
Tell me the story of how we'll save us all
Tell me the story of how to save the world
Tell me tell me


10. The Rulers Of The World


Look through the glass through the gates to the path
As we search for a world we once knew
Hurt from the sin as our world closes in
And we know we can never return

We turned our backs on all that keeps us safe inside our beds
They feed us lies to feed the greed we listen but never learn
A sympathetic word
Just open your eyes open your eyes

We are the rulers of the world
We bring destruction and pain
We are the rulers of the world
Come follow me come follow me
I can help you learn to live again
Rulers of the world
Rulers of the world
Rulers of the world
Rulers of the world

See how they hide in their lairs out of sight
As the young and the poor go to war
Their children are safe and the dream of a place where
The angels and virgins run riot

They sold our dreams and freedom on the back of blackened gold
Sold us down the river now it's turned to desert sand
Sympathy for the damned
Righteousness be damned

We are the rulers of the world
We bring destruction and pain
We are the rulers of the world
Come follow me come follow me
I can help you learn to live again
Rulers of the world
Rulers of the world
Rulers of the world
Rulers of the world
