This excerpt presents a fragment of the song "Empire" performed by Sinéad O'Connor with Bomb The Bass. The lyrics feature a dialogue between two vocal parts, with Speaker A repeatedly describing a vampire that "sucks the life of goodness" and feeds on a pure heart, while Speaker B responds with a brief reflection that the experience "really hurts" and emphasizes the need for self‑knowledge. The passage uses vampiric imagery as a metaphor for emotional or spiritual draining, conveyed in a dark, repetitive, and poetic style.
