Andrew Bird – Scythian Empire lyrics

Album: Armchair Apocrypha

Five day forecast bring black tall rains and hellfire
while handpicked tenderness kid-gloves tear at the inseam
their Halliburton attaché cases are useless
while scotch guard Macintoshes shall be carbonized
now they’re offering views of exiting empire
such breathtaking views of Scythian empires

Scythian empire, horsemen of the Russia steppe
Scythian empire, archers of an afterthought
routed by some Achaeans, thwarted by the Thracians
Scythian empire

Scythian empire, exiting empire
Scythian empire, exiting empire
Routed by some Achaeans, thwarted by the Thracians
Scythian empire
Kings of Macedonia, Scythian empire
