Current-93 - Imperium V lyrics

What joy is there in this body?

Seeing these discarded bones

Scattered here and there

Where they are pushed by the wind

When first they're tossed upon the ground

Then that same moment of your life

Humans first emptied into the womb

The journey of their life to death begins

Once gone there is no turning back

Imperium!

Imperium!

Imperium!

At daybreak many people are seen

That evening one is gone from sight

Next morning one another has gone from sight

Nights are long when one can't sleep

The road is long for those exhausted

Imperium!

Imperium!

Beckons

Imperium

Imperium

To everything there is a season

And a time to every purpose and to the heavens

Oh imperium!

Oh imperium!

A time to be born

A time to die

A time to sleep

A time of silence

Imperium!

Imperium

A time to create

A time to destroy

A time to plant

And a time to reap

Imperium!

Imperium!

Imperium!

Imperium!

Imperium!

Imperium!

Imperium!

A time for laughter

A time for anger

A time to build

A time to destroy

A time to love

A time to hate

A time to bleed

A time to part

behind me the wind calls

Imperium

Imperium!

Imperium!

Imperium

Imperium!

Imperium

Imperium

Imperium
