Empire

An empire is defined as "an aggregate of nations or people ruled over by an emperor or other powerful sovereign or government, usually a territory of greater extent than a kingdom, as the former British Empire, French Empire, Spanish Empire, Russian Empire, Byzantine Empire or Roman Empire." An empire can be made solely of contiguous territories such as the Austro-Hungarian Empire, or of territories far remote from the homeland, such as a colonial empire.

Aside from the more formal usage, the term "empire" can also be used to refer to a large-scale business enterprise (e.g. a transnational corporation), a political organisation controlled by a single individual (a political boss) or a group (political bosses). The term "empire" is associated with other words such as imperialism, colonialism, and globalization. Empire is often used to describe a displeasure to overpowering situations. The effects of imperialism exist throughout the world today.

An imperial political structure can be established and maintained in two ways: (i) as a territorial empire of direct conquest and control with force or (ii) as a coercive, hegemonic empire of indirect conquest and control with power. The former method provides greater tribute and direct political control, yet limits further expansion because it absorbs military forces to fixed garrisons. The latter method provides less tribute and indirect control, but avails military forces for further expansion. Territorial empires (e.g., the Mongol Empire and Median Empire) tend to be contiguous areas. The term, on occasion, has been applied to maritime empires or thalassocracies, (e.g., the Athenian and British empires) with looser structures and more scattered territories. Empires are usually larger than kingdoms.

In the time I had you dressed in silhouette,
We had both been dark and heart obsessed.
You followed as I fell, and you dug inside my chest.
You told me just to breathe, but you stole my breathe.
Once again our plot is thick
To ex-lovers dropping quick.
Look so frantically, for the fix,
No syringe could ever give.
Well i just let it right in
So damn tragic, so fantastic.
To the great heights of vanity.
We can climb high, reign
deceit the poor fools, our pleasure deep.
Oh what fine fools, we smile and bleed.
Smile and bleed.
I can feel you in my veins.
A danger I will take.
You run around my secret inner maze.
I will never let you out, and you won't wanna leave.
Destructive is the way we want to be.
Keep it holdin' to me.
So damn tragic, so fantastic.
To the great heights of vanity.
We can climb high, and reign
deceit the poor fools, our pleasure deep.
Oh what fine fools, we smile and bleed.
Smile and bleed.
To the great heights, to the great heights.
