Emperor

Mark Lanegan

9

I woke in fright

No love, no one to save me

Night after nightSo lonely, lonely baby

Why can′t I get right?

All these demons to enslaved me

Who's left to fight?

Oh, oh, oh, just the emperor, ah-ah-ah

Oh, oh, oh, just the emperor, ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah, just the emperor, oh-oh, oh-oh

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 quacking

Who′s left to kill?

Oh, oh, oh, just the emperor, ah-ah-ah

Oh, oh, oh, just the emperor, ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah, just the emperor, oh-oh, oh-oh

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?

Oh, oh, oh, just the emperor, ah-ah-ah

Oh, oh, oh, just the emperor, ah-ah-ah

Oh, oh, oh, just the emperor, oh-oh, oh-oh

Ah-ah-ah, just the emperor, oh-oh, oh-oh
