Lyrics Empire Rising:

I’m the enquirer. I ask and I ask.
I ask the president, the fortune teller
But they don’t know what to say to me

I’m the enquirer, hex is my trade
I break my cervix in a massacre
Giving birth to my phenomenon
I let go of control
Can’t count the peers
I am a mother, I’m a force of nature
I’m the queen of fertility

I am an animal, I am the bible
I am the oracle, I am the priest
I am the owner of the company

I see the empire rising
From the top of the mountain

I see across the land
I build and I build
With every flower and with every stone
I chose my methods very carefully

I am the lost torch
I am the black Porsche
I am the money
I’m the techno party
I am the new face on the dollar bill

I’m Andrew Carnegie
Manning the burning wheels
Listen you golden boys and girls I call you
hear the echo of a new mind

I’m David Bowie
I’m Anaïs Nin
I am the truth, I am initiated
I’m Jones
Grace Jones

Lyrics Empire Rising


I’m the enquirer. I ask and I ask.
I ask the president, the fortune teller
But they don’t know what to say to me

I’m the enquirer, hex is my trade
I break my cervix in a massacre
Giving birth to my phenomenon
I let go of control
Can’t count the peers
I am a mother, I’m a force of nature
I’m the queen of fertility


I am an animal, I am the bible
I am the oracle, I am the priest
I am the owner of the company


I see the empire rising
From the top of the mountain


I see across the land
I build and I build
With every flower and with every stone
I chose my methods very carefully


I am the lost torch
I am the black Porsche
I am the money
I’m the techno party
I am the new face on the dollar bill


I’m Andrew Carnegie
Manning the burning wheels
Listen you golden boys and girls I call you
hear the echo of a new mind


I’m David Bowie
I’m Anaïs Nin
I am the truth, I am initiated
I’m Jones

Karin Park singing: 'I am Jones, Grace Jones!' is my Religion!

I saw Karin live at Roadburn. I wept profusely. Songwriting with power and soul.

Never heard of Karin Park before but got Apocalypse Pop on vinyl on a whim as it was on sale. That was four days ago and now I can't get enough of her music! If this track is any indication on what the new album is gonne be like I'm beyond excited. Hope to catch her live in Sweden soon!

[MartijnterHaar]

Did she borrow her husband's hat for the video shoot or do they have a matching set?

Love the track, but Isn't Makoto Azuma a botanist? I am hardly seeing any flower based inspiration in the video, except for background sets.
