While walking through the corridors of power 
Beware of delusions that only drag you down 
You serve a system built on intrigues and cheat 
Maybe there's no way to escape your own defeat 

Can you still see the shape of the enemy? 
As you sink deeper and deeper in sin and misery 
You wished for a shining return of the empire 
Fate has not decided yet, will it all end in fire? 

The omens were there - you failed to see 
New allies add to the list of fatalities 
Unable to recognize you're just a part of something greater 
A new age is coming, hard to accept your role as a puppet 

Can you still see the shape of the enemy? 
Your shame goes hand in hand with sin and misery 
Glory you wanted, for a conquering empire 
Fate has not decided yet, will it all end in fire? 

Why is there a monster on the throne? 
You put it there, now terror of silence reigns all alone 
May this loneliness fade away from your personal dome 
Sometimes even shadows can guide us the way home... 

Can you still see the shape of the enemy? 
As you sink deeper and deeper in sin and misery 
Pain is all you received for the beloved empire 
Fate has not decided yet, will it all end in fire?
