Lyrics Andrew Bird – Scythian Empires
Text:
Five day forecast bring black tar rains and hellfire
while handpicked handler’s kid gloves tear at the inseams
their Halliburton attaché cases are useless
while scotch guard Macintoshes shall be carbonized
now they’re offering views of exiting empires
such breathtaking views of Scythian empires
such breathtaking views of Scythian empires
Scythian empires, horsemen of the Russian steppe
Scythian empires, archers of an afterthought
Routed by Sarmatians, thwarted by the Thracians
Scythian empire
Scythian empires, exiting empires
Scythian empires, exiting empires
Routed by Sarmatians, thwarted by the Thracians
Scythian empire
Kings of Macedonia, Scythian empire
