Lyrics

[00:09.11] There is trouble in my mind
[00:13.76] There is dark
[00:15.96] There is dark and there is light
[00:21.68] Lay your hands over my eyes
[00:26.51] As I look deep
[00:28.56] through valleys deep and wide
[00:31.87] Across the border line
[00:34.68] For the empire in my mind
[00:43.86] You are the reason I don't sleep
[00:48.57] You are a light
[00:50.87] that's breaking through the leaves
[00:56.47] You know how hard I try to believe
[01:03.18] I have something good inside
[01:06.36] Over barricades I climb
[01:09.54] For the the empire in my mind
[01:18.65] I have known love somewhere in time
[01:23.14] I've been lifted up
[01:25.37] I've looked honor in the eyes
[01:31.17] I have no reason I have no rhyme
[01:35.83] I cannot deny there's a darkness that's inside
[01:41.27] I am guilty by design
[01:44.36] And now I realize
[01:47.49] That temptation's made me blind
[01:50.82] To the empire in my mind
[01:53.51] There is no order
[01:55.08] There is chaos
[01:56.71] And there is crime
[01:58.34] There is no one home tonight
[02:03.37] In the empire in my mind
[02:18.85] There is no distance
[02:20.46] That I don't wanna see
[02:23.36] I do have a will
[02:25.58] No limit to my reach
[02:31.96] I wish I would, I wish I might
[02:36.48] See a line tonight separating wrong from right
[02:41.81] Some are only born to try
[02:45.05] And maybe that's the reason why
[02:48.20] I'm afraid someday I'll find
[02:51.00] There is no empire in my mind
