Lyrics Sophie Ellis-Bextor

Sophie Ellis-Bextor

Birth of an Empire

It's simple and eternal

The sum of where were made

Across the land we circle

Inside is where we rest

As nations keep on marching

This boat is breaking forth

The guardian eye is watching

The hawk who sees it all

I know you're aching to move on

It doesn't where you are when you belong

Something close to love

But more mysterious

I'll hold you in the shadows

Of my arms

Always close to love

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 where you are when I am gone

Something close to love

But more mysterious

I'll hold you in the shadows

Of my arms

Always close to love

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 love

Always, close to?

Always, alright

Something close to love

But more mysterious

I'll hold you in the shadows

Of my arms

Always close to love

More victorious

Can you feel this empire being born?

The pull of where you're from

Is far too strong
