Emperor - Mark Lanegan Band
I awoke in fright
No love no one to save me
Night after night
So lonely lonely baby
Why can't I get right
All these demons to enslave me
Who is left to fight
Just the emperor
Just the emperor
Just the emperor
On the water still
My boat violently shaking
I need another pill
Another bitter pill to wake me
Upon the window sill
The cat silently quaking
Who is left to kill
Just the emperor
Just the emperor
Just the emperor
The battlefield is crossed
The flag and castle falling
Is the army lost
Command no longer calling
Into an early frost
A few survivors crawling
Who could know the cost
Just the emperor
Just the emperor
Just the emperor
Just the emperor
