The Smashing Pumpkins - Empires Lyrics

Oh, empires
Oh, empires

Empires your help is on the way
In bonfires slash, circuit breaks and change
Empires, empires
No, you needn't worry, hey
'Bout your empires, empires

You know that zero is one more than null (but a zero)
But a zero can't leave well-enough alone (alone, alone)

Oh, empires
Come and meet your new gods
Livewire and stick
Shock troops and foxes stumble from the mist

Empires, empires
You should mind your trust
Of these empires, empires

You know that zero is one more than null (but a zero)
But a zero can't leave well-enough alone

Who will come for you? Oh no, no, no (no)
Who can't hide from us? Oh no, no, no (no)
Pick your avatars for graves, no, no

Oh, empires
Come and meet your new gods
Livewire and stick
Shock troops and foxes stumble from the mist

It's about your empires, empires
It's about your empires, empires
It's about your empires, empires

Oh, empires
The fascist face of faith
Empires, kiss the brutal fist of hate (hey)

Empires, empires
Who owns the black of the night
In your empires, empires?
