Napoleon

Napoleon - Sarah Slean

Under great golden statues

There is an ancient grave

The emperor's foot is restless

There's something he wants to say

To the princes of lazy science

And merchants of holy war

He had but one instruction

Be careful with metaphor

So every nation be warned

As soon as the last one is mourned

Another tyrant is born

To the pirates that came to follow

Itchin' to wrench on the reigns of force

Napoleon sent a message

Don't get high on your only horse

So every nation be warned

As soon as the last one is mourned

Another tyrant is born

Mother I've fear of madness

'Cause I've heard him call my name

I followed his ghostly finger

I saw the world in flames
