Empires Lyrics
the bridge I build you seem to tear down
you said you liked how it looks
lying on the ground
do you like it whem i'm poor, when I beg
seems I take two steps forward
then you break both my legs
don't cry for me
don't turn around
know you've got other empires
to burn down
death strikes quick the needle she stings
pain seems so fitting
on these broken strings
kingdom's built on love for myself
lost in my ambitions
now cast to the seas
drowning in an ocean of tides
where excess and pity
seem to coincide
don't cry for me
don't turn around
know you've got other empires
to burn down
you said you liked how it looks
lying on the ground
seems I take two steps forward
then you break both my legs
don't turn around
know you've got other empires
to burn down
pain seems so fitting
on these broken strings
lost in my ambitions
now cast to the seas
where excess and pity
seem to coincide
don't turn around
know you've got other empires
to burn down

This song is pretty amazing, its a shame it wasn't on the the LP. As for the meaning, pretty self explanatory. That first line, gets me everytime. Stephen is quite the wordsmith.
