Verse 1:
Dbm
We've done it emperor
   B
We conquered the world
         E
So let's drink and eat grapes
               Ab
General, we've got nothing left to invade
 A
"There's nothing left to invade,"
   B
He says, shaking
   E                     Ab
No cowardly civilians so desperate for my saving
       Dbm
Though what's this my highness
        B
Haven't captured the moon yet?
  E
I wonder if we'll soon get
Ab
Aliens encroaching on Mars
A
We haven't rockets Caesar
B
Only some slaves instead
E
General, should we put them to work?
Ab
Or should we pile up the dead?
Dbm
We'll make a tower
        B
You can stand on their heads
                E
Tell folk we're under invasion
            Ab
That should finally xxxxxxx motivate them
A
It took some time but seems
B
we got to the moon
           E
This tower sure is tall
                      Ab
Sir, from this height your empire's never looked so-

Chorus:
E
Small
C                    Dbm         A
You will die with no one left to kill in the sky
                E          C           Dbm
And then you'll fall, much too high to see your slaves

How, they look you dead in the eye

Verse 2:
Dbm                           B
From here you cannot see your statues and effigies
        E
All the blood and the dust
       Ab
Spread thin it seems entirely untouched
A
There's nothing left to invade
B
No one to kill in the sky
Em                            Ab                           Dbm
Who's gonna take care of your beautiful creations when you die?
Dbm                B                          E
Pass it on to your children? The incomp etent xxxxx
                            Ab
Fingers crossed this little empire will always exist
A                             B
You look indifferent sir, too tired to speak
              E
Sir from this height your great achievements
Ab                   A
Have never looked so xxxxxxx-

Chorus:
E
Weak
C                 Dbm            A
You will die with no one left to kill in the sky
                E     C                Dbm
And then you'll fall, much too high to see your slaves
     A                         E
How, they look you dead in the eye

Bridge:
A                         E   C
They look you dead in the eye-eye
A           E   C
Dead in the eye-eye
A           E   C
Dead in the eye-eye
Dbm                       E
They look you dead in the eye

You will die with no one left to kill in the sky
                E     C                Dbm
And then you'll fall, much too high to see your slaves

How, they look you dead in the eye

Outro:
Dbm                               B
Back home your slaves are looking up at the moon
           E
You cannot see them this high

But promise, they look you dead in the eye
