Watching Evil Empires Fall Apart

Back in the years before blood lost all its flavour

You slipped and fell but fell into my favour

But I

Chose the land between

'Cos I heard they were looking for a saviour

So I focussed my attentions on the wars in the west

Drew up a battle plan and put my armies to the test

Came walking through the sands

And you were wearing that dress

Lost my answers to the boys in the mess

Dropped to my knees and began to confess...

I control the world

You controlled my heart

And life was easier than watching evil empires fall apart

(Oh yes it was)

You saw that only my blood lust could tear us apart

So you raided my artillery for a tranquiliser dart

You steadied; took your aim and shot me straight in the heart

Let your tender reign over me, start

I spend the next twenty years with my head between your knees

All the while making sure you heard my cautionary pleas

There's a price on my head at which nobody would sneeze

'cos I sailed the, sailed the seven seas

Accumulating so many enemies

They would fall for me

And I would fall to you

And your the closest thing I'll ever have to Waterloo

When they write my history

Will they include all your conquests of me?

I control the world

You controlled my heart

Your light would always guide my mother in the dark

Your sight would be preserved in statues and in art

And life was easier than watching evil empires fall apart.
