Black Angels, The - Empire Lyrics

Morrison was weak human.
Do not make hero’s out of weak person.

Tried to comment about how the song is really good and accidentally stopped the song like a total idiot because I had to sign in. #ohwell

A Masterpiece

They are so damn good 🎶🎶🎶

This song takes me back in time, but I do not understand why.

I don't know if I am alone on this but I kind of think maybe not. Does anyone else hear a Geezer Butler drum influence in the drumming of Stephanie Bailey? It is sort of a tripped out Peyote or LSD feel to it for me and I can imagine myself in a desert somewhere sitting at a fire or something. I love the whole band but just noticed this about her sound during this song.

Actually I meant the drumming of Bill Ward. My bad.

You are not John Smith

Makes me think of Syrian migs fucking shit up

And I cut my own wrist, just to see if I exist.

What is that sound at the start?!

Night Drive ,,,,,,

I'm in the spirit world..................

[Verse 1]
Oh, the empire's calling trying to hear his voice
While he’s preaching to the choir and that choir is death and noise
And he closes up his fist, and he sees if they exist

[Verse 2]
Angels with broken wings, melodic harmonies she sings
She brings you white daffodils, you place them on your windowsill
Then you open up your fist, and you see if they exist

[Verse 3]
Well you sit in dark forests, you’ve been there for quite a while
And when they come to take you, you just sit and smile
You say, “Hey, you take this. I’m gonna see if you exist.”

[Verse 4]
Oh, it’s time to leave here, and I still have my knife
And it’s pressed up against my body,, tonight's gonna be the night
And I cut my own wrist just to see if I exist

 [ The Black Angels ⬖ Empire]

A friend in need's
a friend indeed

Yes I can hear the Placebo effect. LOL

Earfucked!!!!!

Hey!, Hey!, Hey!!!

Sounds a lot like the black angels to me,mixed with some uhhh... Black angels.

que pedo pendejos

Oh take me back to the Empire where things are continually changing by phasing in and out to the eclectic sound of a band that is continually evolving!!!

had an insane acid tripto this album. good times

Thanks for uploading this... It's GREAT!

Play the song at 1.25 speed and it sounds sweet!!!

good very good XD

Jaja it's true, like a musical trip xD

Dude! It sounds great!! :-D

In this song . I hear a lot of the velvet underground influences. Where they got they're name. Bc of the art Rock feel and the doors influences I Cantrell are from the art rock and the drums. Alex Maas has a great baritone voice like jim Morrison had. And it's all psychedelic rock. Which makes this even better. So all aside. Let rock live on

Don't hear those influences but Black Angels rock so who cares?!

Good synopsis, but, like who cares.....like throwing good Money at bad, good math wrong application...etc. It all pales by comparison

While you sit in the dark forest you've been there quite a while

these reminds me off velvet underground ,this is amazing!!!

they are heavily influenced by them. their name is taken from one of the underground's songs, and that woman on the 8 minute version of this song is Niko.

Why do the only people in my life tell me I suck?

fuck those fucks why do you keep them in your life

Do your own shit, do what makes you happy.

Charles lee Ray believe in yourself and dont pay attention to anyone who brings you down

MrMtavsantepe only people I have but y'all are right

Maybe you do suck. But maybe that's okay.

de puta madre,,,, :3

Makes me want to conquer Europe 

@Nicolas Dubus It's already conquered

Europeans are pussys

@God of Chaos americans are dicks

the palace has always conquered Europe since Napolean.

@joe shmoe by Muslims

That's what my astrologer friend says..I wrote their manager to get Alex's birth data, but no reply. Does anyone know where and when and what time he was born?

They are very inspired by Velvet Underground, 'Black Angels Death Song' by the VU is where they got their name from

it's possibly inspired by it, but the angels's riff has a signature of its own, the resemblance is minute if any, and I really don't see it

haha best comment

i said that as soon as i heard them haha!

Lots of comments here that this sounds like the doors. To me is as Velvet Undergroundish as it can get...

I'm stoned too~

JIM MORRISON REINCARNATE!!!

I thought the same. I love the doors so much and then I found this. It´s great! :D

Stoned in a desert?

sorry, but no

Guess Morrison lives on

This conversation is hilarious.

hahahaha

No, it sounds like the Grim Reaper stalking Morrison to his apartment that faithful night in Paris '71.

I think he means The End by The Doors

so, how do you explain it?!

NO IT DOESNT!!!!!!!!

It's sounds like "The End" of The Doors.

agree but walking in a backwoods street with no lighting except streetlights @ 2am and also you never been there and you know nobody- makes great Photos (I have them)

Please do not compare TBA to a singer of the past. In doing so, I find that you are saying that the singer is not someone great. Just appreciate the singer of TBA for who he is, his talent, and what wonderful music he and his band members create.

try tilt

Dont get why a number of you people think he sounds like Jim, maybe his/their vibe , a little - - You all might check out, if not already familiar, Wooden Shjips, esp. 'I hear the vibrations', 'for so long' & 'we ask you to ride' FOR SURE. Rian Johnson sounds just like him on those last 2 esp.

fine by me...

yep...No idea what you are saying. My comment was positive...seeing them play in two days four miles from my house.

this kind of cod surrealism is fine by me.... though wtf! - whoeevr has the authority to hijack these sites and then throw one to the lions for such sentiments (i.e. bung you in with a bunch of morons and retards) needs a good kick in... i mean; just cos cerebrallly maladjusted kids will think they have to lock someone in a basement etc etc etc you get my drift????? is you rhome town as shitty and hicky as mine own??? do you have retarded bespectacled yoof followin' you about????

this is the sort of evening to go ou with on's camera and do some night shoot imagery.... also, if one was to do that, a night to be mithered and followed about by various taxi cars and other vehicular blurs - which, to stave off their constant inducing of hassle, one could photograph to add to such a tedious blog as mine own:
orangessadowitzskull.blog.com/

this sounds like shit all akin to j.m

RIP BRE

T R I P

My mind is meltinggggg

@triggerpuller101 fuck head

This band is great when you have a hangover.

It sounds like Love and Rockets spawned with Roky Erickson....and kept him in the basement...of the Sunset Strip

Jim Morisson has returned :P

@EazyTim , they're named after a Velvet Underground song.

wow very nice i like it !...

@jjsscc12 Well listen a little closer.

@jjsscc12 Uh?

@jjsscc12 Ughh?

i believe it would have made a great song if it ended at 5:07

its a good band but all the songs are the same!
