"Empress" lyrics

Patrick Wolf Lyrics

"Empress"

Empress of this glorious feeling
Your palace above me
I journey to give me...
Until you found power
I thought we were always us
Us forever, this fire forever

I journey through forest and concrete
I never stop, never sleep without you far
Sweet fire coming through
I didn't feel you slip away into the night
To hunt the crown and the glory
But I saw it all...

How could I have let you slip
Right from these arms that hunt for you?
How could I have let you slip
Right from me into that dark lagoon?

My empress
I'm coming down for you
My empress
I'm coming down for you...
Down
