Lyrics

I hear the roar of a big machine
Two worlds and in between
Hot metal and methedrine
I hear empire down
I hear empire down

I hear the roar of a big machine
Two worlds and in between
Love lost, fire at will
Dum-dum bullets and shoot to kill, I hear
Dive, bombers, and
Empire down
Empire down

I hear the sons of the city and dispossessed
Get down, get undressed
Get pretty but you and me,
We got the kingdom, we got the key
We got the empire, now as then,
We don't doubt, we don't take direction,
Lucretia, my reflection, dance the ghost with me

We look hard
We look through
We look hard to see for real
Such things I hear, they don't make sense
I don't see much evidence
I don't feel. I don't feel. I don't Feel

A long train held up by page on page
A hard reign held up by rage
Once a railroad
Now it's done...

I hear the roar of a big machine
Two worlds and in between
Hot metal and methedrine
I hear empire down...

We got the empire, now as then,
We don't doubt, we don't take reflection,
Lucretia, my direction, dance the ghost with me...

Thank you for sharing!

[HearTheFear13]

Welcome. Nobody had the BLB version of this song on here, so I just had to post it.

[SirXand3r]

I'm here cause of Lily LeBeau

[darkkalek]

I believe this is an improvement on the original by 'Sisters of Mercy'.

@bobbyewing311

Both are good, but the fact that Project86 slowed it down definitely pushed me to the same conclusion...but that's personal preference. :)

[bobbyewing311]

Project 86 did a better cover of this song.

[Dnkyrev]

@FzNd Warrel's is better than the original.

@bobjackson85

Check out Warrel Dane's version (if you haven't already done so) if you like a more Metal approach to the song. It's amazing as well.

[bobjackson85]

this is easily the best cover of lucretia my reflection. i think theyve captured the atmosphere of the sisters of mercy but also added a bit more of a dark side to it. its better than the original

THE BEST FUCKIN VERSION! WES IS A GOD!

[dAvE73906]

nice song. nice bassriff. nice band.

[CGi69]

I like this version. TSOM made it a great song. This is just an updated and uptempo version. It would've just sounded stupid done the same way as Eldritch and Co. Plus, when I saw BLB live it was the best song of a bunch great tunes.
