Empress of the Hour (a song)

lyrics below

Well I know that you once loved me

And I did love you too

But all at once the picture shifted

You disappeared from my view

You were my empress of the hour

But the hour's gone late

And I don't seem to have the power

To fight my fate

I recall we were together

Then came a big surprise

When all we had was torn asunder

In the twinkling of an eye

You were my empress of the hour

But the hour has passed

And what I knew was ripped to pieces

I should've known it wouldn't last

Well I swear that you were with me

But what good's swearing anyway?

And maybe in a different timeline...

Well after all, who is to say?

You were my empress of the hour

But the hour ran dry

And now all I feel is empty

Don't even have tears to cry

You were my empress of the hour

But the hour's gone late

And I don't seem to have the power

To fight my fate
