lyrics

Climb the steps to an empire
Exploit the feeble and the tired
The fallen grace
Built from nothing just a game
A gamble with life and people’s pain
You rise up higher, much higher

Majesty, they call your name out
Finally, the path to power

Lies are the foundation of corruption
Spread them far in all directions
It’s mass deceit
Strike a deal with your enemy
Leverage is power, is courage, is power is strength, your strength

There is a chasm within my heart
There is a brick wall before my eyes
My barrier keeps you out of my way
In dark times I chase light away

There is a dark void inside my skull
I find destruction so beautiful
To build a palace of blood and bones
I will reside here on my lonely throne

Sometimes I cannot fall asleep
Sometimes I wish upon a dream
Look for the eye in the sea
Sometimes I question my esteem
Silently, now I see all these flaws
In my morality
With open eyes I question my decency
My self esteem is frayed
Is lost
What have I done

Sacrifice morals for a wealthy life
Throw away relationships and honesty
Power brings a virtual ecstasy
The time is now, so take it
