empress - emperor norton lyrics

Loading...

she stands, her face against the stars
seven thousand candles all around her
but their light is nothing next to her
they say, the sun shines at her pace
little knowing of the nebulas inside
the raging orbits of her mind

oh empress, empress, empress, empress please!
oh empress, empress, empress, empress please!
somehow the empress expressed an interest expressly in me

now, our hearts beneath the stars, she bequeathed on me a
name befitting of my station next to her
she stands in moonlit poverty, this blood rite elegy
it binds us in ambition, in romance, in starlit poetry
she moves away from me

these nebulas, just frame, the glory of her frame
these candles in the night just illuminate her face
oh empress and i, our ambition is our grace

there’s a tyrant in us both
we are ruled by gold and brimstone:
touch thy midas to my soul…

novas firing in our hearts, we are children in amongst the stars
monarchs of ambition to these ancient lands outcast
this burning life of ours, we reclaim our names
from solitary minds, the ones now running out of time

crowned within the light of stars, up above, our half*lives
yet to become whole, and we as monarchs yet to make our home
children with ambition yet to find ourselves a land to call our own
