You've got your guards and they've got their guns
They're overworked and you've never ever want a thing
In your life

I've got my dreams and I've got my sleep
And I've a promise to build it's gonna keep these visions of an empire
At peace

'Cause my heart is my keep
And you are threatening me
'Cause my heart is my keep
And you are threatening me

Oh, my God
You're the one
I've been holding out
For for so damn long
For so damn long
And you're a far cry from an empire at peace

I've got my knives in the heart of my sleeves
But this weather's getting too nice for me
To keep an empire at peace

'Cause my heart is my keep
And you are threatening me
'Cause my heart is my keep
And you are threatening me

Oh, my God
You're the one
I've been holding out
For for so damn long
For so damn long
And you're a far cry from an empire

You've got your guards and they've got their guns
They're overworked and you've never ever won a thing
In your life

'Cause my heart is my keep
And you are threatening me
'Cause my heart is my keep
And you are threatening me

Oh, my God
You're the one
I've been holding out
For for so damn long
For so damn long

Hey!

Oh, my God
You're the one
I've been holding out
For for so damn long
For so damn long
