Birth Of An Empire
SOPHIE ELLIS BEXTOR · Wanderlust 2014 · Track 01 of 11
Written by Ed Harcourt, Sophie Ellis‐Bextor
It's simple and eternal The sum of where we're made Across the land we circle Inside is where we're raised As nations keep on marching As borders break and fall The guardian eye is watching The hawk who sees it all
I know you're aching to move on It doesn't matter where you are when you belong
Something close to love But more mysterious I'll hold you in the shadow of my arms Always close to love But more victorious Can you feel this empire being born The pull of where you're from is far too strong
It's honest and it's brutal There's beauty in its strength It's never less than truthful It's born from innocence
Break through the web that I have spun It doesn't matter where you are when I am gone
Something close to love But more mysterious I'll hold you in the shadow of my arms Always close to love But more victorious Can you feel this empire being born The pull of where you're from is far too strong
Always close to Always close to Always close to Always always
Something close to love But more mysterious I'll hold you in the shadow of my arms Always close to love But more victorious Can you feel this empire being born The pull of where you're from is far too strong
