Lower Dens - Empire Sundown lyrics
[Lower Dens - Empire Sundown lyrics]
Look them in the eyes
When they push you off the raft
And make them watch you drown
They take everything but they can't tell us
How to defend ourselves
The tide is gonna turn and when it does
And what can we do
When they come for all the
Ones we couldn't save
We owe them the empire's reddest sundown
And when it's dark our time will come
They they don't care what they do to us
My friend our tears are wine to them
All we've ever been is grist for
The mill that keeps turning
One day their stones will break
And watch when they do (God have mercy)
And what will we do to remind them
That they can't live without us they need us
It's their turn to try and
Shout back an unrelenting tide
When they push you off the raft
And make them watch you drown
They take everything but they can't tell us
How to defend ourselves
The tide is gonna turn and when it does
And what can we do
When they come for all the
Ones we couldn't save
We owe them the empire's reddest sundown
And when it's dark our time will come
They they don't care what they do to us
My friend our tears are wine to them
All we've ever been is grist for
The mill that keeps turning
One day their stones will break
And watch when they do (God have mercy)
And what will we do to remind them
That they can't live without us they need us
It's their turn to try and
Shout back an unrelenting tide
