|
Back in the years before blood lost all its flavor |
|
You slipped and fell but you fell into my favor |
|
But I chose the land between Dam and Bathsheba |
|
Because I heard they were looking for a savior |
|
So I focused my attentions on the wars in the west |
|
Drew up a battle plan and put my armies to the test |
|
You came walking through the sands and you were wearing that dress |
|
Lost my interest in the boys and the mess |
|
Dropped to my knees and began to confess |
|
I control the world |
|
You control my heart |
|
And life was easier |
|
Than watching evil empires fall apart |
|
Oh yes it was |
|
You saw that only my bloodlust could ever tear us apart |
|
So you raided my artillery for a tranquilizer dart |
|
You steady took your aim and shot me straight in the heart |
|
Let your tender reign over me start |
|
I'd spend the next twenty years with my head between your knees |
|
All the while making sure you heard my cautionary pleas |
|
There's a price on my head at which nobody would sneeze |
|
'Cause I've sailed and sailed the seven seas |
|
Accumulating so many enemies |
|
They would fall to me |
|
And I would fall to you |
|
And you're the closest thing I'll ever have to Waterloo |
|
When they write my history |
|
Will they include all your conquests of me? |
|
I control the world |
|
You controlled my heart |
|
Your light would always guide my armada in the dark |
|
Your sight will be preserved in statues and in art |
|
And life was easier than watching evil empires fall apart |
