about
"Tired Empire" is a new single by Worcester-based singer-songwriter Peter L'Esperance, aka Morning Son. This high-energy punk-folk style tune is a departure in genre for Morning Son, but nevertheless displays his expertise in creative and unique music composition. "Tired Empire" is a reflection on the frustration with empire and a world system that unceasingly makes it more and more difficult to find peace and authentic belonging...Enjoy!
lyrics
Heavy words,
Tired Heart,
Crushing pain,
Precious art
Needle point,
Paper's edge,
Magic ink,
Raise the dead
Cause everything's comin to a fast stop,
Everything's comin to a painful end,
Oh when will we be tired of the scape-goat martyrdom,
No black-powder gun,
Tired empire is done,
I'm lookin for a place that's peaceful enough...
To lay down,
Fresh grass,
Light match,
Start again
Don't quit,
Fire pit,
e-mail,
Hire quick
Cause everything's comin to a fast stop,
Everything's comin to a painful end,
Oh when will we be tired of the scape-goat martyrdom,
No black-powder gun,
Tired empire is done,
I'm lookin for a place that's peaceful enough...
To lay down,
Be found...
Surrender,
Doors closed,
Way out,
Hold your nose
Crash down,
Run kid,
Gun shots,
Powder keg
Cause everything's comin to a fresh start,
Everything's comin to a new beginning,
Oh when will we be tired of the scape-goat martyrdom,
No black-powder gun,
Tired empire is done,
I'm lookin for a place that's peaceful enough...
To lay down,
Be found...
Heavy words,
Tired Heart,
Crushing pain,
Precious art
Needle point,
Paper's edge,
Magic ink,
Raise the dead...
