Richard Woodcraft - Birth of an Empire lyrics

[Verse 1] It's simple and eternal The sum of where we're made Across the land we circle Inside is where we rest As nations keep on marching This boat is breaking forth The guardian eye is watching The hawk who sees it all [Pre-Chorus] I know you're aching to move on It doesn't matter where you are when you belong [Chorus] Something close to love but more mysterious I'll hold you in the shadows of my arms Always close to love but more victorious Can you feel this empire being born? The pull of where you're from is far too strong [Verse 2] It's honest and it's brutal There's beauty in its strength It's never less than truthful It's born from innocence [Pre-Chorus] Break through the web that I have spun It doesn't matter where you are when I am gone [Chorus] Something close to love but more mysterious I'll hold you in the shadows of my arms Always close to love but more victorious Can you feel this empire being born? The pull of where you're from is far too strong [Bridge] Always close to Always close to love Always close to Always, alright [Chorus] Something close to love but more mysterious I'll hold you in the shadows of my arms Always close to love but more victorious Can you feel this empire being born? The pull of where you're from is far too strong
