Empire

about

I wanted it to sound like what I saw on a plane ride over the Yukon. This song was written in the midst of death in my family, the world politics going crazy, and a broken down relationship.

Words and music by Sarah MacDougall
Produced by Marcus Paquin.

lyrics

There’s a grey wolf on the mountain. You can feel her as she swallows all the secrets you buried in the deep. There’s a black sky in the dark cold and its dressed up with dancing white gold
and it’s circling through the night and straight into me.

We destroyed everything, destroyed everything that was good
We destroyed everything good

Oh oh oh, is this our empire, is this our empire?
Oh oh oh, is this our empire, is this our empire at our feet?

There is so much I could have said and now I’m counting all the hours I have left to tell you anything. ‘Cause we are born and then we die and in between we are alive
so let the bells ring, let the bells ring.

We destroyed everything
Destroyed everything that was good
We destroyed everything good

Oh oh oh, is this our empire, is this our empire?
Oh oh oh, is this our empire, is this our empire?
Oh oh oh, is this our empire, is this our empire?
Oh oh oh, is this our empire, is this our empire at our feet?
