Empire in My Mind

There is trouble in my mind

There is dark, there is dark and there is light

Lay your hands over my eyes

As I look deep, through valleys deep and wide

Across the borderline for the empire in my mindYou are the reason I don't sleep

You are the light that's breaking through the leaves

And you know how hard I try

To believe I have something good inside

All the barricades, I climb for the empire in my mindI have known love, somewhere in time

I've been lifted up, I've looked honor in the eyes

I have no reason, I have no rhyme

I cannot deny there's a darkness that's inside

I am guilty by design and now I realize

The temptations made me blind to the empire in my mindThere is no order, there is chaos and there is crime

There is no one home tonight in the empire of my mindThere is no distance that I don't see

I do have a world, no limit to my reach

I wish, I would, I wish, I might

To see a line tonight, separating wrong from right

As I am only born to try and maybe that's the reason why

I'm afraid someday I'll find there is no empire in my mind
