Scythian Empire Lyrics

Andrew Bird Scythian Empire

Five day forecast bring
black tar rains and hellfire
While handpicked handler's
kid gloves tear at the inseam

Their Halliburton attache cases are useless

While Scotch-Guard
Macintoshes shall be carbonized

Now they're offering
views of exiting empires
Such breathtaking views
of Scythian Empires

Scythian empire
Horsemen of the Russian steppe
Scythian empire
Archers of an afterthought

Routed by Sarmatians
Thwarted by the Thracians
Scythian empire

Kings of Macedonia
and the Scythian empire
