It´s simple and eternal
The sum of where we´re made
Across the land we circle
Inside is where we´re raised
As nations keep on marching
As borders break and fall
The guardian eye is watching
The hawk who sees it all

I know you´re aching to move on
It doesn´t matter where you are when you belong

Something close to love
But more mysterious
I´ll hold you in the shadow of my arms
Always close to love
But more victorious
Can you feel this empire being born
The pull of where you´re from is far too strong

It´s honest and it´s brutal
There´s beauty in its strength
It´s never less than truthful
It´s born from innocence

Break through the web that I have spun
It doesn´t matter where you are when I am gone

Something close to love
But more mysterious
I´ll hold you in the shadow of my arms
Always close to love
But more victorious
Can you feel this empire being born
The pull of where you´re from is far too strong

Always close to
Always close to
Always close to
Always always

Something close to love
But more mysterious
I´ll hold you in the shadow of my arms
Always close to love
But more victorious
Can you feel this empire being born
The pull of where you´re from is far too strong
