[Emperor Primos:] No matter what I do This craving never seems to fade Death made me envy him The aching wore my patience thin I thrive on my rage The hours seemed days as I thought: "Yes... Death is a Godsend, For power sooths my pain..." [Diegu:] You can't say you're healing It's ought to feel nice... pretty good To see all those beneath you Blaming their God - instead of you Primos you've been fooled You're Dreath's recruit - merely a tool He promised you a cure To fix the void inside your soul... Alas... this isn't so Your mind has been tricked by the Serpent's tongue You've merely become what he'd Seen in you: A pawn of Death [Emperor Primos:] You think I'm so naive? No - Death won't trick me! But why do I feel strange? I seem to hesitate A voice inside my head Why won't it leave me be? I feel... I know... [Diegu:] Primos you've been fooled You're Death's recruit - merely a tool He promised you a cure To fix the void inside your soul A heart corrupted by evil [Emperor Primos:] I can't let go... It's like I'm not in Control [Diegu:] Believe... you have the strength to break free... [Emperor Primos:] I'm ashamed of what I became Throughout the years [Diegu:] Know this: There is no fate But what we make for ourselves All can change When the mind is the heart Be one in body and soul Go back - to the moment you chose Your dark ways Go back and relive all those moments Of fear Relinquish yourself from the chains of The past And you'll be freed from Death [Death:] Primos - don't you dare betray me Diegu tells you nothing lies Think of the man I have let you become I gave you life - through me you've Survived I gave you all - when nothing was left But dust I was the one who offered you A chance to see it all anew I gave you might beyond compare I will avenge myself - I swear [Diegu:] Oh, it has been a burden to carry [Emperor Primos:] I will learn... To med the future I shattered [Diegu:] What lies ahead... Where do you wish to begin? Emperor Primos: Lead the way, I wish to speak to Aveline
