Watching Evil Empires Fall Apart
Love Amidst Chaos: A Tale of Heart and Empires
Lyrics
Back in the years before blood lost all its flavour
Reflecting on a time when violence and conflict held significance.
You slipped and fell but fell into my favour
Despite a mishap, the speaker's favor was gained.
But I
Transition to a critical decision or realization.
Chose the land between (?)
Choosing a middle ground, possibly a neutral stance.
'Cos I heard they were looking for a saviour
Opting for involvement due to the search for a savior.
So I focussed my attentions on the wars in the west
Focusing attention on western wars and strategic planning.
Drew up a battle plan and put my armies to the test
Deploying armies to test the battle plan.
Came walking through the sands
Arrival in a desert setting.
And you were wearing that dress
Noticing someone in a significant dress.
Lost my answers to the boys in the mess
Losing important information to others.
Dropped to my knees and began to confess...
Falling to one's knees and confessing, suggesting vulnerability.
I control the world
Claiming control over the world.
You controlled my heart
The other person having control over the speaker's heart.
And life was easier than watching evil empires fall apart
Life being easier than witnessing the collapse of evil empires.
(Oh yes it was)
You saw that only my blood lust could tear us apart
Taking action to neutralize the threat with a tranquilizer dart.
So you raided my artillery for a tranquiliser dart
Successfully hitting the target in the heart.
You steadied; took your aim and shot me straight in the heart
Initiating a reign of tenderness over the speaker.
Let your tender reign over me, start
I spend the next twenty years with my head between your knees
Two decades spent in a submissive position.
All the while making sure you heard my cautionary pleas
Ensuring the partner hears cautionary pleas.
There's a price on my head at which nobody would sneeze
A high price on the speaker's head due to extensive travels.
'cos I sailed the, sailed the seven seas
Sailing the seven seas and accumulating enemies.
Accumulating so many enemies
They would fall for me
The speaker falling for the partner.
And I would fall to you
Mutual dependence, with a reference to Waterloo.
And your the closest thing I'll ever have to Waterloo
When they write my history
Contemplating the inclusion of the partner's conquests in history.
Will they include all your conquests of me?
I control the world
Reiteration of world control.
You controlled my heart
The partner retaining control over the speaker's heart.
Your light would always guide my mother in the dark
The partner's light guiding the speaker's mother in difficult times.
Your sight would be preserved in statues and in art
The partner's sight immortalized in statues and art.
And life was easier than watching evil empires fall apart.
Life being easier than witnessing the collapse of evil empires.
