Birth of an Empire Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's simple and eternal
The sum of where we're 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
[Pre-Chorus]
I know you're aching to move on
It doesn't matter where you are when you belong
[Chorus]
Something close to love but more mysterious
I'll hold you in the shadows 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
[Verse 2]
It's honest and it's brutal
There's beauty in its strength
It's never less than truthful
It's born from innocence
[Pre-Chorus]
Break through the web that I have spun
It doesn't matter where you are when I am gone
[Chorus]
Something close to love but more mysterious
I'll hold you in the shadows 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
[Bridge]
Always close to
Always close to love
Always close to
Always, alright
[Chorus]
Something close to love but more mysterious
I'll hold you in the shadows 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
