[Verse 1]
It's not the knife you bleed on
It's not the cancer in your bones
It's not the sunrise choking
It's not the blood red moon alone

It's not the way you look dead
It's not the silent season
It's not the suffer intense
It's not the life you feed on

[Pre-Chorus]
It's the way the night
Falls into the feeling grey

[Chorus]
Empire, I was built around your heart
(Hey hey)
Let the right one in

Empire, I was built around your heart
(Hey hey)
Let the right one in
Let the right one in

[Verse 2]
It's not the ghost you kill with
It's not the yellow eyes you crush
It's not your failing senses
It's not the barrel of this gun

[Pre-Chorus]
It's the way the night
Falls into feeling grey

[Chorus]
Empire, I was built around your heart
(Hey hey)
Let the right one in

Empire, I was built around your heart
(Hey hey)
Let the right one in
Let the right one in

[Bridge]
Let the right one in
Let the right one in

[Pre-Chorus]
It's the way the night
Falls into feeling grey

[Chorus]
Empire, I was built around your heart
(Hey hey)
Let the right one in

Empire, I was built around your heart
(Hey hey)
Let the right one in

Empire, I was built around your heart
(Hey hey)
Let the right one in

Empire, I was built around your heart
(Hey hey)
Let the right one in
Let the right one in
