Biografía:
Emperor X is a pop/noise/folk music project headed by American musician C. R. Matheny.

The lyrics of Emperor X songs have been described as simultaneously "hallucinatory" and "precise

Emperor X
"Allahu Akbar"
From the album "Western Teleport" (2011)
[Intro]
Bb F
[Verse]
Bb
Chalk in the riverbed
F Bb
Was deposited by the ocean as it boiled off
Bb
Encased in calcium carbonate
F
We could drown or we could solder
Bb
I climbed the ranks of militiamen
F Bb
And the Sadrites, and my parents felt a cautious pride
Bb
And disregarded Shari'a Law
F
And put the Tigris in a trench now
[Pre-Chorus]
Bbsus2 Dm7
Give us rain, give us rain, give us rain, give us rain,
C
Give us rain, give us rain, send us water
Bbsus2 Dm7
Send us trucks, send us trucks, send us trucks, send us trucks,
C
Send us trucks, send us tanks, send us IEDs
Bbsus2 Dm7
Send us planes, send us planes, send us planes, send us planes,
C
Send us planes, send us planes, is the sky clear enough?
Bbsus2 Dm7 C
Send us dust storms, woah-
[Chorus]
Bb F
Allahu Akbar
[Verse]
Bb
The sand has lowered the vitamin
F Bb
Saturation point, put a straw under the bridge and suck
Bb
We made a pact with the Arakeen
F
And we built ourselves a filter
Bb
The city hydro's undrinkable
F Bb
Shattered cinderblocks are their favorite things to talk about
Bb
We saw your face in the Guardian
F
And it raised the circulation
[Pre-Chorus]
Bbsus2
Send us rain, please transmit
Dm7
Please receive our dumb prayers,
C
Telepath, send a flood, send us an avalanche
Bbsus2 Dm7
Send us cold, send us ice, send us meteorites
C
Send us snow, send us hail, send us high speed rail
Bbsus2 Dm7
We can pay, we should pay, we will pay, we insist
C
No defaults but we must get down to Chechnya
Bbsus2 Dm7
We defend, we fight back, we plant bombs under tracks
C
We skip church, all the monotheists
[Chorus]
Bb F
Sing: "Allahu Akbar!"
Bb
And the Inuit sang
Dm
And the Zionists sang:
C Bb
"Allahu Akbar!"
Bb
And the economists sang
Bb
And the astronomers sang
Dm
And the anarchists sang:
C Bb
"Allahu Akbar!"
Bb
God is greatest!
Bb
God is greatest!
Dm
God is greatest!
C Bb
"Allahu Akbar!"
