Empire Lyrics

Feel the oceans as it breathes
Shivering teeth
See the mountains where they meet
Smothering me

As the wind fends off the waves
I count down the days
Heavy stones fear no weather

I find comfort in the sound
And the shape of the heart
How it echoes through the chest
From under the ground

As the hills turn into holes
I fill them with gold
Heavy stones fear no weather

And from the rain
Comes a river running
Wild that will create
An empire for you
Illuminate!
There's a river running
Wild that will create

An empire for you
An empire for two
An empire for you
An empire for two

And I paint your body black
I hide in your hair
And you're staring back at me
Like I wasn't there

As our bodies become stills
We welcome the fear
Heavy stones fear no weather

And from the rain
Comes a rive running
Wild that will create
An empire for you
Illuminate!
There's a river running
Wild that will create

An empire for you
An empire for two
An empire for you
An empire for two

And from the rain
Comes a rive running
Wild that will create
An empire for you
Illuminate!
There's a river running
Wild that will create

An empire for you
An empire for two
An empire for you
An empire for two

Of Monsters and Men are an indie folk band which formed in 2010 in Keflavík/Garðabær, Iceland. The band consists of Nanna Bryndís Hilmarsdóttir (vocals, guitar), Ragnar Þórhallsson (vocals, guitar), Brynjar Leifsson (guitar), Kristján Páll Kristjánsson (bass), Arnar Rósenkranz Hilmarsson (drums) and the former member Árni Guðjónsson (keyboards, accordion), who left the band in 2012. The band released their debut album "My Head Is an Animal" in September 2011. The album's single "Little Talks" peaked at #1 in Iceland, and became successful in the United States after extensive airplay on Philadelphia rock station WRFF and subsequent word of mouth. In April 2012 the tune became their first entry on the US singles chart, when it entered the Billboard Hot 100 at #92.
