Lyrics
I woke in fright
No love, no one to save me
Night after night
So lonely, lonely baby
Why can't I get right?
All these demons to enslaved me
Who's left to fight?
Oh, oh, oh, just the emperor, ah-ah-ah
Oh, oh, oh, just the emperor, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, just the emperor, oh-oh, oh-oh
On the water still
My boat violently shaking
I need another pill
Another bitter pill to wake me
Upon the window sill
The cat silently quacking
Who's left to kill?
Oh, oh, oh, just the emperor, ah-ah-ah
Oh, oh, oh, just the emperor, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, just the emperor, oh-oh, oh-oh
The battlefield is crossed
The flag and castle falling
Is the army lost?
Command no longer calling
Into an early frost
A few survivors crawling
Who could know the cost?
Oh, oh, oh, just the emperor, ah-ah-ah
Oh, oh, oh, just the emperor, ah-ah-ah
Oh, oh, oh, just the emperor, oh-oh, oh-oh
Ah-ah-ah, just the emperor, oh-oh, oh-oh
