Empire Now Songtext
von Hozier

Sun comin′ up on a dream come 'round
One hundred years from the empire now
Sun comin′ up on a world that's easy now
One hundred years from-
One hundred years from-

Sun comin' up on a dream come ′round
One hundred years from the empire now
Sun comin′ up on a world that's easy now
One hundred years from-
One hundred years from-

After all, darlin′, I wouldn't sell the world
The way that things are turnin′
If it falls, I would hold on for all it's worth
The future′s so bright it's burnin'


Sun comin′ up on a dream come ′round
One hundred years from the empire now
Sun comin' up on a world that′s easy now
One hundred years from-
One hundred years from-

Martyrs of our revolution
Their spinning caused the earth to shake
The problem brought its own solution
They power now the world we've made

After all, darlin′, I wouldn't sell the world
For all the gold or sterling
If it falls, I would hold on for all it′s worth
The future's so bright it's burnin′

Sun comin′ up on a dream come around
One hundred years from the empire now
Sun comin' up on a world that′s easy now
One hundred years from-
One hundred years from-
