Of Monsters & Men - Empire lyrics

Feel the ocean as it breathes Shimmering teeth See the mountains where they meet Smaller in me As the wind fends off the waves I count down the days Heavy stones filling the weather I find comfort in the sound And the shape of the high How it echoes through the chest From under the ground As the hills turn into homes I fill them with ghouls Heavy stones filling the weather From the rain comes a river Running wild that we create An empire for you Illuminate there is a river Running wild that we create An empire for you An empire for two An empire for you An empire for two And I paint your body black I hide in your hair And you’re staring back at me Like I wasn’t there As some bodies become sticks We welcome the fear Heavy stones filling the weather From the rain comes a river Running wild that we create An empire for you Illuminate there is a river Running wild that we create An empire for you An empire for two An empire for you An empire for two From the rain comes a river Running wild that we create An empire for you Illuminate there is a river Running wild that we create There’s a river running wild that we create An empire for you An empire for two An empire for you An empire for two
