lyrics

Emperor, oh emperor
Where have you gone?
And when did you become a secret to me?
I hear you as you sing in tune
With some distant song
I try to sing but you can see right through me
As kingdoms come undone

Emperor, oh emperor
What have we done?
We’re lost in ways we never thought we would be
I think that this is what she meant
When she said “crash and burn”
But we could never see the future, could we?

And I can finally see
The castles made of sand
And I sit and watch them wash away

We’ll rule each other’s kingdoms
For a while
Share our songs and sing them
For a year
Now through the glass I watch you
In denial
I am falling down
Are you coming ‘round?

And maybe when that strife was through
At last it did come
If only I were waiting for epiphanies
But emperor, oh emperor
We’re already gone
And flying far away from that sad city

Are you coming ‘round?
You’re not coming ‘round
