"Heartless Empire" lyrics - BROKEN BELLS

And what you found was gold
As black as dry blood
The taste was oh so sweet
Well one loves to love
The whole idea seems unfit to run
But it's always that way

[Chorus:]
So supple sprouts take aim
At a coincidental sun
And careful hands tie their knots
In yarn until the dawn
No island, deserted land
An heartless empire from
What to want

Those who search
Search by themselves
Leaving nothing to gain
Cast like stones
Into the night
We are one and the same
