In the empire of the senses
You're the queen of all you survey
All the cities all the nations
Everything that falls your way
"There is a deeper world than this
That you don't understand
There is a deeper world that this
Tugging at your hand"
I think Sting made a reference to the British imperialism. He's using it for showing how small all this power is when it's forced to face love, a feeling that the 'Queen' cannot see with her endless ambition. In this world she is the queen, but all her power is useless in the world of love.
