Emperpor Songtext
von Mark Lanegan

I woke 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 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
