Electric Six - Watching Evil Empires Fall Apart lyrics
[Electric Six - Watching Evil Empires Fall Apart lyrics]
Back in the years before blood
Lost all it's flavor
You slipped and fell but you
Fell into my favor but, I chose the land
Between Dan and Beersheba
Because I heard they were
Looking for a savior
So I focused my attentions on
The wars in the west
Drew up a battle plan and put
My armies to the test
You came walking through the sands and
You were wearing that dress
Lost my interest in the boys and the mess
Dropped to my knees and began to confess
I control the world you control my heart
And life was easier
Than watching evil empires fall apart
Oh, yes it was
You saw that only my bloodlust
Could ever tear us apart
So you raided my artillery
For a tranquilizer dart
You steady took your aim and shot
Me straight in the heart
Let your tender reign over me start
I'd spend the next twenty years with
My head between your knees
All the while making sure you
Heard my cautionary pleas
There's a price on my head
At which nobody would sneeze
'Cause, I've sailed and sailed the seven seas
Accumulating so many enemies
They would fall to me
And I would fall to you
And you're the closest thing I'll
Ever have to Waterloo
When they write my history
Will they include all your conquests of me?
I control the world you controlled my heart
Your light would always guide my
Armada in the dark
Your sight will be preserved in
Statues and in art
And life was easier than watching
Evil empires fall apart
Lost all it's flavor
You slipped and fell but you
Fell into my favor but, I chose the land
Between Dan and Beersheba
Because I heard they were
Looking for a savior
So I focused my attentions on
The wars in the west
Drew up a battle plan and put
My armies to the test
You came walking through the sands and
You were wearing that dress
Lost my interest in the boys and the mess
Dropped to my knees and began to confess
I control the world you control my heart
And life was easier
Than watching evil empires fall apart
Oh, yes it was
You saw that only my bloodlust
Could ever tear us apart
So you raided my artillery
For a tranquilizer dart
You steady took your aim and shot
Me straight in the heart
Let your tender reign over me start
I'd spend the next twenty years with
My head between your knees
All the while making sure you
Heard my cautionary pleas
There's a price on my head
At which nobody would sneeze
'Cause, I've sailed and sailed the seven seas
Accumulating so many enemies
They would fall to me
And I would fall to you
And you're the closest thing I'll
Ever have to Waterloo
When they write my history
Will they include all your conquests of me?
I control the world you controlled my heart
Your light would always guide my
Armada in the dark
Your sight will be preserved in
Statues and in art
And life was easier than watching
Evil empires fall apart
