Of Monsters And Men - Empire Lyrics

Feel the ocean as it breathes
Shivering teeth
See the mountains where they meet
Smothering me


As the wind fends off the waves
I count down the days
Heavy stones fear no weather


I find comfort in the sound
And the shape of the heart
How it echoes through the chest
From under the ground


As the hills turn into holes
I fill them with gold
Heavy stones fear no weather


And from the rain
Comes a river running
Wild that will create
An empire for you
Illuminate!
There's a river running
Wild that will create


An empire for you
An empire for two
An empire for you
An empire for two


And I paint your body black
I hide in your hair
And you're staring back at me
Like I wasn't there


As our bodies become stills
We welcome the fear
Heavy stones fear no weather


And from the rain
Comes a river running
Wild that will create
An empire for you
Illuminate!
There's a river running
Wild that will create


An empire for you
An empire for two
An empire for you
An empire for two


And from the rain
Comes a river running
Wild that will create
An empire for you
Illuminate!
There's a river running
Wild that will create


An empire for you
An empire for two
An empire for you
An empire for two
