Lyrics:
Something...
Something kissed my lips
Something
Something brushed my fingertips
The north winds battle in the car park
And the darkness, is the darkness

Somewhere
The night is on the run
With a bottle of ouzo
And a rusty gun
The north wind
Is like a Spanish guitar
soaked in petrol
burning on the bar

Let the dead raise their heads
And the dying leave their beds

She didn't believe what her mama said
And she clambered out the window in the darkness

And behind you in the night
A million dogs come out to fight

Cause it's the empire that be rising
Rising, rising through the night

Something
Something give me strength
I'm burning
Burning on the brink
The north wind
Is like cinnamon and wine
And the darkness
Is the darkness

Let the dead raise their heads
And the dying leave their beds

Ah, she didn't believe what her mama said
And she clambered out the window in the darkness

And behind you in the night
A million dogs come out to fight

Cause it's the empire that be rising
Rising, rising through the night

Let the dead raise their heads
And the dying leave their beds

Ah, she didn't believe what her mama said
And she clambered out the window in the darkness

And behind you in the night
A million dogs come out to fight

Cause it's the empire that be rising
Rising, rising through the night
