Emperor

[Verse 1]
I awoke in fright
No love, no one to save me
Night after night
So lonely, lonely baby
Why can't I get right?
All these demons to enslave me
Who is left to fight?

[Chorus]
Just the emperor
Just the emperor
Just the emperor

[Verse 2]
On the water still
My boat violently shaking
I need another pill
Another bitter pill to wake me
Upon the window sill
The cat silently quaking
Who is left to kill?

[Chorus]
Just the emperor
Just the emperor
Just the emperor

[Verse 3]
The battlefield is crossed
The flag and castle falling
Is the army lost?
Command no longer calling
Into an early frost
A few survivors crawling
Who could know the cost?

[Chorus]
Just the emperor
Just the emperor
Just the emperor
