There is trouble in my mind
There is dark, there is dark and there is light
Lay your hands over my eyes
Cause I look deep, through valleys deep and wide
Across the borderline
For the empire of my mind
(Start doing this during Emâs)

You are the reason I donât sleep
You are alive, breaking through the leaves
You know how hard I try,
to believe I have something good inside
Over barracades I climb
For the empire of my mind
I have no love somwhere in time
Iâve been lifted up
Iâve looked honor in the eyes
I have no reason, I have no right
I cannot deny thereâs a darkness inside
Iâm guilty by desire
And now I realize
The temptations make me glide
To the empire of my mind
There is no order
There is chaos
And there is crime
There is no one alone tonight
With the empire of my mind
There is no distance I donât see
I do have a will no minute to my breach
I wish I would, I wish i might
See a line tonight, seperating wrong from right
Some are only ones you try
Maybe thatâs the reaosn why
Iâm afraid someday iâll die
with the empire of my mind
Enjoy!
