Watch me build an empire to destroy

And you should fear me, I'm a person to avoid


I'll use you befriend you I can pretend

You're important to me and I have nothing inside 

So I'll hitch a ride, my friend


You give me everything I think I need

And you christen me, the new messia to believe


I want this, need it, want you to worship who I think I 

Am, and I have dillusioons of grandeur feed these fires inside


I harness the thunder of days gone by, of dreams 

That all but pass my by, I'll never surrender

Never to reside, do you know who I am?


Watch me when I have nothing left to see

And you can hear me I'm half the man I used to be


I fooled you, conned you, used you, ignored you

And threw you aside, for me it's one more step 

To the pinnacle of fame


I harness the thunder of days gone by, 

of dreams that all but pass my by, 

I'll never surrender never reside,

I'm all, but gone


And we were young, and quick to act

We'd rule the world

Rule throughout the land

Now I am free, do for myself 

And I am my own savior


I reached the highest peak 

And assailed the highest high

I'm on my way, way to the afterlife

I'm on the brink

The brink of something great

And when I leave my body 

lay into the grave


what is this place, what is this time

what is this force here

that will give me piece of mind

years I would fall, years I would die, years I

was stopped and yet I raise th higher heights


you watch, you'll see, when you are with me

your faster than you were before 

you'll kill with a violent force

you watch, you'll see, I bask in victory 

and all will die away


you live your life, I'll stand on high

and I look down, down at you in your pain 

now you are gone, and you are weak

and I have never been more alive
