Lift the hammer, lift the curse
You crack this whip and I'll break my lance
An occupation is as good as a land
You make me feel like an emperor
So, so secure from the familiar
You make me feel so proud, so sure
I see the wonder of all my wet dreams
You make me feel so proud, so sure
Emperor
You make me feel like an emperor
You make me feel so proud, so sure
Emperor, we need you
So secure from the familiar
You see, it's these little fears
Could be dangerous in the right hand
Chance to put heaven back on this earth
Uncommon sense, the great leveller
We need you
I've seen too many crack at the seams
Best to flatter the devil, than fight him
All of them doors that I broke into
You make me feel like an emperor
An emperor
Uncommon sense is the great leveller
Uncommon sense is the great leveller
Don't want to be no inflexible flake
The weak heart hidden in weaker sin
In you I have a kingdom in the palm of my hand
All of these doors I opened for you
Standing too brittle, I know that I'll break
That keep us in chains
An emperor
Yeah
So, so secure from the familiar
You make me feel like an emperor
Throw away every thought, flush down the drain
Uncommon sense is the great leveller
An emperor, we need you
You make me feel so proud, so sure
You see, even a speckle of sand
So, so secure from the familiar
When I play my fiddle, will I see you dance?
