Empire Ants - Gorillaz

Album: Plastic Beach

genre: Pop Synthpop

Oh joy’s arise
The sun has come again to hold you
Sailing out the doldrums of the whole week
The polyphonic prayer is here, it’s all around you
It’s all around you, out here

And if the whole world is crashing down (on you)
Fall through space out of mind with me

Where the emptiness we leave behind on warm air rising
Blows all the shadows far away
The falling of the whole empire, is here to hold you
Rolling out and haunted till it sinks

Little memories, marching on
Your little feet, working the machines
Will it spin, will it soar
My little dream, working the machine
Soon like a wave, empires will fall
And closing in the womb, of who you are
Little memories
Your little feet, working the machines
Will it spin, will it soar
My little dream, working the machine
Soon like a wave
Empires will fall
Closing in on the womb
Of who you are
