Of Monsters and Men — Empire

[Verse 1: Ragnar Þórhallsson] Feel the ocean as it breathes Shivering teeth See the mountains where they meet Smothering me As the wind fends off the waves I count down the days Heavy stones fear no weather [Verse 2: Ragnar] I find comfort in the sound And the shape of the heart How it echoes through the chest From under the ground As the hills turn into holes I fill them with gold Heavy stones fear no weather [Chorus: Nanna Bryndís Hilmarsdóttir & Ragnar] And from the rain Comes a river running wild that will create An empire for you Illuminate There's a river running wild that will create An empire for you An empire for two An empire for you An empire for two [Verse 3: Ragnar] And I paint your body black I hide in your hair And you're staring back at me Like I wasn't there As our bodies become stills We welcome the fear Heavy stones fear no weather [Chorus: Nanna & Ragnar] And from the rain Comes a river running wild that will create An empire for you Illuminate There's a river running wild that will create An empire for you An empire for two An empire for you An empire for two [Instrumental] [Chorus: Nanna & Ragnar] And from the rain Comes a river running wild that will create An empire for you Illuminate There's a river running wild that will create An empire for you An empire for two An empire for you An empire for two
