Empire (feat. Benjamin Zephaniah)

I am looking at your soul

I'm looking at your future

As I look into your eyes

I see another side

Vampire, you feed on the life of a pure heart

Vampire, you suck the life of goodness

Vampire, you feed on the life of a pure heart

Vampire, you suck the life of goodness

Turn the light on

Let the light shine bright

Turn the light on

Let the light shine bright

You got to feel yourself and let go

You got to know you reap what you sow

You got to feel something at sometime

Check the writings on the wall and look at the sign

You're spending all your money on gear that never work

You're wasting all your energy, and everywhere it hurts

God, it really hurts, yes, it really hurts

You got to know yourself

Vampire, you feed on the life of a pure heart

Vampire, you suck the life of goodness

Vampire, you feed on the life of a pure heart

Vampire, you suck the life of goodness

From now on I'll call you England

From now on I'll call you England

From now on I'll call you England

From now on I'll call you England

See, if you spit in the sky, it will fall in your eye

You see, what goes up must come down

You will die looking up, if you're not looking in

You got to know yourself

I'm looking at your pastures, and they were never green

I'm looking for your justice, and it cannot be seen

I'm checking where you're coming from, and where you're going to

I'm checking out what you have done to see what you can do

I'm looking at your law books and they were never read

I'm looking at your love squire and they cannot be dread

I'm looking at your empire slipping on the drears

You got to know yourself

Vampire, you feed on the life of a pure heart

Vampire, you suck the life of goodness

Yes, vampire, you feed on the life of a pure heart

Vampire, you suck the life of goodness

From now on I'll call you England

Empire fall, man, empire go

From now on I'll call you England

There's a lesson to be learned, by that, you must know

From now on I'll call you England

And the rich that you eat is from the food that you fear

From now on I'll call you England

And I see no love anyway, you appear

From now on I'll call you England

You've got to know yourself

From now on I'll call you England

You got to know yourself
