Of Monsters and Men - Empire lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

Feel the ocean as it breathes, shiverin' teeth

See the mountains where they meet smotherin' me

As the wind fends off the waves I count down the days

Heavy stones fear no weather!

I find comfort in the sound & the shape of the heart

How it echoes through the chest from under the ground

As the hills turn into holes I fill them wit gold

Heavy stones fear no weather!

(Chorus)

And from the rain comes a river runnin' wild that will create

And empire for u, illuminate!

There's a river runnin' wild that will create

An empire fo' u, an empire fo' 2

An empire fo' u, an empire fo' 2

(Verse 2)

And I paint ur body black I hide in ur hair

And you're starin' back at me like I wasn't there

As our bodies become stills, we welcome the fear

Heavy stones fear no weather!

(Chorus x2)
