Back in the years before blood lost all its flavor You slipped and fell but you fell into my favor But I chose the land between Dam and Bathsheba Because I heard they were looking for a savior So I focused my attentions on the wars in the west Drew up a battle plan and put my armies to the test You came walking through the sands and you were wearing that dress Lost my interest in the boys and the mess Dropped to my knees and began to confess I control the world You control my heart And life was easier Than watching evil empires fall apart Oh yes it was You saw that only my bloodlust could ever tear us apart So you raided my artillery for a tranquilizer dart You steady took your aim and shot me straight in the heart Let your tender reign over me start I'd spend the next twenty years with my head between your knees All the while making sure you heard my cautionary pleas There's a price on my head at which nobody would sneeze 'Cause I've sailed and sailed the seven seas Accumulating so many enemies They would fall to me And I would fall to you And you're the closest thing I'll ever have to Waterloo When they write my history Will they include all your conquests of me? I control the world You controlled my heart Your light would always guide my armada in the dark Your sight will be preserved in statues and in art And life was easier than watching evil empires fall apart
