Empire Lyrics

Take off all of your skin
And brave when you are free
Shake off all of your sins
And give them to me
Close up, let me back in
I wanna be yours, wanna be your hero
And my heart beats

Like the empires of the world unite
We are alive
And the stars make love to the universe
You're my wildfire every single night
We are alive
And the stars make love to the universe
And you touch me
And I'm like and I'm like and I'm like
Hoooooo hoooooo
And I'm like hoooooo hoooooo

I will follow you down wherever you go
I, I'm, baby, I'm bound to you and do you know?
Closer, pull me in tight
I wanna be yours, wanna be your hero
And my heart beats

I'm just gonna raise my head
Welcome to the final edge
And I'm gonna fall
I'm just gonna raise my head
And hold you close

Underneath Your Clothes

Hips Don't Lie

Whenever, Wherever

Objection (Tango)

Eyes Like Yours (Ojos Asi)

Take off all of your skin
And brave when you are free
Shake off all of your sins
And give them to me
Close up, let me back in
I wanna be yours, wanna be your hero
And my heart beats

I will follow you down wherever you go
I, I'm, baby, I'm bound to you and do you know?
Closer, pull me in tight
I wanna be yours, wanna be your hero
And my heart beats

I'm just gonna raise my head
Welcome to the final edge
And I'm gonna fall
I'm just gonna raise my head
And hold you close

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

WARNING:\nI will ruin this song for you.\nI saw the official video and this song is DARK!\nSeriously. Don\'t read this.\n=======================\nThe screams of bliss are a new relationship with a troubled man. She loves him and wants him to find comfort in a world he\'s been lost in.\n\'What can be so bad?\' she thinks. "Open up to me. I\'ll love you no matter what."\n\nHe regrets his actions, he\'s made mistakes, and she accepts him as he is. Stands by him. Stays with him.\n\n \n\n \n\n\nAnd his true nature...what he always was, shows up and this time she is the victim of his worst instincts. His abuse.\n\nHe regrets what he does, she knew this about him. She forgives him, they reconcile in the fire that was their beginning, but the snake doesn\'t change. The glorious eagle hunts the rat. He can\'t change, and she can\'t either. This is the relationship. She\'ll be consumed and be in love throughout.
