The Empire Song (Our World)

Ray Davies

Forever, forever
This empire will last forever
Forever, forever
This empire will last forever

Looking at the heavens
For a sign from God to come
But the face of God will blind you
Because God is the Sun

And the Sun goes round the earth
And sets in the far West
But the empire is the world
And the Sun will never set

This is our world
Our world, our world
Our world, our world

I can tell you what you need to know
About the upper and the middle and the classes below
About the cruelty and the scandals, injustice and greed
In our world, in our world
That will last forever more

'Cause they're saying it's all gonna end
And there's a holocaust a-rising over the horizon
Today the empire stands alone
Against the forces of evil and the great unknown
It's gonna darken the sky and blind out the Sun
And eclipse our world
They thought would last forever more

Our world, our world, our world, our world

This throne of kings is sacred 'cross this emerald isle set in a silver sea
This is our world
And any man who opposes it will have to answer to God and me
This is our world
United we stand, divided we fall
Our world, our world

Raise the banner high, hear the bugle call
We're the best with our backs against the wall
And protect the throne and stand alone
And preserve our world
They said would last forever more

Sure as mother is the Moon and father is the Sun
The pleasures of the flesh will condemn us each and everyone
United we stand, divided we fall

Our world, our world, our world, our world
Our world, our world, our world, our world

God save us all
Out world, our world, our world, our world
Will last forever more

It was not a mystic turn of fate
That made this tiny island rule the world
This is our world
It was God that made this nation great
It was our fate to dominate this world
This is our world
United we stand, divided we fall

Blessed are the patriots, protectors of this country and our queen
This is our world
Preserving law and order while using new technology
To intercept our enemies, detain subversive forces
From bringing down the standards of our world
This is our world

God bless Queen Victoria
And let the Sun never set
On our world
