The femme fatales emerged from shadows we
thought had died many years ago
You came to me at the dead of night
many years ago:
The things you wanted came out of the light
out of the night in the crying call
many years ago:
The sleeping dogs died in the dying fall
You see war as a metaphor
I see love as the whole of the law
We took a drink and stepped outside
many years ago:
Love nearly died in the century slide
God was easy but the Devil could sing
many years ago:
And love only flies on silent wings
I see love as a holy cause
I see love as the only law
Empirical Child - reach for a pen and throw me a line
Empirical Child - sing me a song where serpents shine
Empirical Child - so sad, you gained an addiction
Empirical Child - life's a gas 'till you fall for ambition
God is easy and the Devil is deep
and Heaven is a Hell that's gone to sleep
God is the reason and the Devil his cause
Life is a season and Death is a pause
Empirical Child - sing us a song, painted in blue
Empirical Child - in sad eye dominions, and some sad tune
Empirical Child - so sad, you gained an addiction
Empirical Child - Gods only son is just a deception!
