The Empyrean

The Empyrean is the eighth solo album by John Frusciante, released worldwide on January 20, 2009 through Record Collection.

One, two, three is how we counted
The roads were paved; the horses mounted
We were standing like a big, brick building
Circling storms of dark grey smoke

Lightning bolts struck home on monday
On the twentysecond of May
Home is where your bleeding heart is
Weak and ripped, and thorned to pieces

All the kindest left behind
A thorn in the pride of who once stood in line
Yesterday seems miles away
The price we had, is the price we'd pay

Nuke, nuke your own city
Nuke it till it's gone
Burn, burn your own city
Burn it to the ground
Nuke, nuke your own city
Nuke it till it's gone
Burn, burn your own city
Burn it to the ground

We can't leave what we encounter
Face the facts, drown the fountains
Looking for a place to be
While being armed to the teeth

Feel it crumble all away
There's no place for us to stay
The world is dying, the end is nigh
And epidemic pollutes the sky

Nuke, nuke your own city
Nuke it till it's gone
Burn, burn your own city
Burn it to the ground
Nuke, nuke your own city
Nuke it till it's gone
Burn, burn your own city
Burn it to the ground

Everybody's waiting for their plane
They're going nowhere, they're going insane
The sound of trumpets, the sky is red
Children don't bother, you're already dead
Waiting until the end of time
All the kindest left behind
Waiting until the end of time
Till the airplane hits the sky

Everybody's waiting for their plane
They're going nowhere, they're going insane
The sound of trumpets, the sky is red
Children don't bother, you're already dead
Waiting until the end of time
All the kindest left behind
Waiting until the end of time
Till the airplane hits the sky
Hits the sky yeah
Hits the sky oh yeah
Hits the sky oh yeah
