Birth Of An Empire

[00:12.26] It's simple and eternal
[00:16.17] The sum of where were made
[00:18.97] Across the land we circle,
[00:21.83] Inside is where we rest
[00:25.10] As nations keep on marching,
[00:28.03] This boat is breaking forth
[00:30.90] The guardian eye is watching,
[00:33.82] The hawk who sees it all
[00:35.73] (Pre-1)
[00:36.74] I know you're aching to move on
[00:41.04] It doesn't where you are when you belong
[00:46.91] ()
[00:49.26] Something close to love
[00:52.18] But more mysterious
[00:55.06] I'll hold you in the shadows
[00:57.89] Of my arms
[01:00.27] Always close to love
[01:03.15] More victorious
[01:06.58] Can you feel this empire being born?
[01:13.24] The pull of where you're from
[01:15.62] Is far too strong
[01:18.42] ()
[01:30.58] It's honest and it's brutal
[01:39.57] There's beauty in its strength
[01:42.44] It's never less than truthful
[01:45.46] It's born from innocence
[01:47.45] (Pre-2)
[01:49.44] Break through the web that I have spun
[01:53.70] It doesn't where you are when I am gone
[01:58.86] ()
[02:00.71] Something close to love
[02:04.17] But more mysterious
[02:06.53] I'll hold you in the shadows
[02:09.88] Of my arms
[02:12.71] Always close to love
[02:15.65] More victorious
[02:18.63] Can you feel this empire being born?
[02:23.91] The pull of where you're from
[02:27.36] Is far too strong
[02:30.17] (Bridge)
[02:35.86] Always, close to...
[02:45.41] Always, close to love
[02:48.27] Always, close to...
[02:51.12] Always, alright
[02:53.59] ()
[02:54.93] Something close to love
[02:57.72] But more mysterious
[03:01.17] I'll hold you in the shadows
[03:04.59] Of my arms
[03:06.40] Always close to love
[03:09.31] More victorious
[03:12.22] Can you feel this empire being born?
[03:18.92] The pull of where you're from
[03:22.70] Is far too strong
[03:25.19]
