Emperor

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?
Just the emperor
Just the emperor
Just the emperor

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?
Just the emperor
Just the emperor
Just the emperor

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?
Just the emperor
Just the emperor
Just the emperor
