Sophie Ellis Bextor - Birth Of An Empire lyrics

rate me

It’s simple and eternal

The sum of where were made

Across the land we circle,

Inside is where we rest

As nations keep on marching,

This boat is breaking forth

The guardian eye is watching,

The hawk who sees it all

I know you’re aching to move on

It doesn’t where you are when you belong

[Chorus]

Something close to love

But more mysterious

I’ll hold you in the shadows

Of my arms

Always close to love

More victorious

Can you feel this empire being born?

The pull of where you’re from

Is far too strong

It’s honest and it’s brutal

There’s beauty in its strength

It’s never less than truthful

It’s born from innocence

Break through the web that I have spun

It doesn’t where you are when I am gone

[Chorus]

Always, close to…

Always, close to love

Always, close to…

Always, alright

[Chorus]
