Little Emperor

Hey little emperor come down from your throne

The hour glass is empty your time has come and gone

The battlements are crumblin' the walls are tumblin' down

Your counselors and concubines are getting' outta town

Some say it's an omen some say it's the winds of change

Which ever way it's goin' it's blowin' like a hurricane

Hey little conqueror where you gonna go

The world is even smaller than it was when you left home

Emptiness in front of you and detritus behind

Nobody ever told you that history was kind

Standin' on the corner your fortune blowin' in the wind

Daddy didn't warn you there ain't no goin' home again

No pomp and circumstance no more shock and awe

Your just a little emperor that's all

Hey little hypocrite what you gonna say

When you wind up standin' naked on the final judgement day

How you gonna justify it who you gonna call

What if it turns out that God don't look like you at all

The leaves are in the teacup the hieroglyphics on the wall

You ain't the first to rise up you sure won't be the last to fall

Hey little emperor come down from you throne

And let another emperor climb on
