Of Monsters And Men - Empire lyrics

Feel the ocean as it breathes Shiverin' teeth See the mountains where they meet Smotherin' me As the wind fends off the waves I count down the days Heavy stones fear no weather I find comfort in the sound And the shape of the heart How it echoes through the chest From under the ground As the hills turn into holes I fill them with gold Heavy stones fear no weather And from the rain Comes a river runnin' wild that will create An empire for you Illuminate! There's a river runnin' wild that will create An empire for you An empire for two An empire for you An empire for two And I paint your body black I hide in your hair And you're starin' back at me Like I wasn't there As our bodies become stills We welcome the fear Heavy stones fear no weather And from the rain Comes a river runnin' wild that will create An empire for you Illuminate! There's a river runnin' wild that will create An empire for you An empire for two An empire for you An empire for two And from the rain Comes a river runnin' wild that will create An empire for you Illuminate! There's a river runnin' wild that will create An empire for you An empire for two An empire for you An empire for two
