(Empire) Can't you hear it calling? Black man, trapped again Holds his chain in his hand Brother killing brother for the profit of another Game point, nobody wins Declines, right on time What happened to the dream sublime? Tear it all down, we'll put it up again Another empire East side meets West side downtown No time, the walls fall down Can't you feel it coming? (Empire) Can't you hear it calling? (Empire) Can't someone here stop it? In fiscal year 1986 to '87, local, state and federal governments spent a combined total of 16.6 billion dollars on law enforcement.

By way of comparison, the federal government spent 24 million more on space exploration, and 43 times more on national defense and international relations, than law enforcement Can't you feel it coming?

What you say? You're through with me, I'm not through with you We've had what others might call love You say it's over now, what's done, what's through? You can't stay away You need me, oh, I need you When the fire starts, the pain's too much for your mind You need attention, what's good is only mine I can cure the hunger that burns in your heart So just come to me I'll take you home We'll walk in the shadows By day we'll live in a dream Walk with me We'll walk in the shadows Oh You say you don't feel safe alone tonight 'Cause you feel the pressure building in your head Our secret's safe for one more night But when the morning comes remember I'll be with you We'll walk in the shadows By day we'll live in a dream Walk with me We'll walk in the shadows One day you'll be home with me If only you believe We'll walk in the shadows By day we'll live in a dream Walk with me We'll walk in the shadows Oh, you gotta stay with me Walk with me Oh yeah Walk in the shadows Walk with me Walk in the shadows Walk with me Walk in the shadows Walk with me Walk in the shadows Walk with me Walk in the shadows Walk with me Walk with me
