Empty EmperorLet me tell you a storyOf hatred death and despair From a time of darkness Screams of the wretched fill the air Empty Emperor brooding in the darkness Upon a throne of skulls Dead eyes see everything Staring at the suns demise Winged things of abyssal origin Scream over ashen wastes Grubbing in the dirt below The descendants of betrayal Old, dead, hands Reach for your soul Empty Emperor alone among the shadows Rules over a cold dead world Corpse planet, monoliths of deadstone Stand stark against a pitiless sky Funeral fire, consuming pyre Inferno tombs that where once cities Devastation now in rule Carnage dances to the Emperors tune Alone entombed in the frozen planet Doomed until the end of time Alone I control this world The forces of decay Are mine to command Entropy my cold and sterile lover Birthed to me her children From her barren womb Empty Emperor carious in grimnity Surveys his charnel palace Feeling neither joy nor glory The embodiment of the void Ash statues frozen in fear Stand sentinel on nothing but dust Empty Emperor finally in solitude Planet death spins on into darkness |
