lyrics

end of the empire I read it on the internet
winter is coming though I guess it isn't winter, yet
I'm singin', strummin' from an ivory tower parapet
beset by enemies but some of them do not know it yet

it's late December and the temperature is temperate
I can't remember any weather that's a precedent
god's on a bender whatsoever, we consent to it
just watchin' embers in the bottom of a big fire pit

twitter is hummin' I'll admit it is illiterate
bitter at some who dare to call him inconsiderate
who is a bum to tell the winner he's a counterfeit?
never succumbin' to the pressure never even a bit
