Iter Impius

Mr. Money:
I woke up today expecting to find all that I sought, and climb the mountains of the life I bought. Finally I'm at the top of every hierarchy; unfortunately there is no one left... but me.

I woke up today to a world that's ground to dust, dirt and stone. I'm the king upon this withering throne. I ruled every forest, every mountain, every sea - now there're but ruins left to rule for me. And you see, it beckons me.

Life turned it's back on us. How could you just agree?

I woke up today to a world devoid of forests and trees, drained of every ocean, every sea. Just like a useless brick upon the shore the morning after the storm that swept the bridge away - relentless tide. No anger, just this relentless time that calls us all on, but...

I'm never crossing that line, leaving this world behind. I will stay on my own on this withering throne, I rule the ruins and the wrecks and the dust, dirt and stone. I rule rage rod and rattling of bones.

I am on my own, I am all alone, I am on my own
I'm stuck forever here. Already cold. So cold...

I'm never crossing that line, leaving this world behind. I will stay on my own on this withering throne, I rule the ruins and the wrecks and the dirt, dust and stone, and the rattling of bones. I rule every rage rod and ridge and this way.

I rule the ruins (ad lib)
