**(What Good is It)**

Beneath a shroud of twilight, the kingdom’s glimmer fades,  
With hollow crowns and empty thrones, where power masquerades.  
Consume the world, devour the stars, in shadows you shall tread,  
But hear the whispers from the void, “For what is left instead?”

(Chorus)  
What good is it to gain the world's embrace,  
When the soul lies in chains, stripped of its grace?  
In the spiral of greed, you dare to lose sight,  
Eclipsed by the darkness that swallows your light!

A fortune forged in agony, a throne of gilded bones,  
With every sacrifice you make, the price is paid in moans.  
Cloaked in riches, robed in mirage, yet haunted by remorse,  
Existence tethered to a lie, lost on a fractured course.

(Symphonic Bridge)  
Hear the winds of destiny, cry out in ancient tongue,  
As echoes of betrayal in the heart of men are sung.  
Rise the legions of the damned, the phantoms at the gate,  
Their eyes like burning embers, they witness your cruel fate.

(Outro)  
In the catacombs of silence, where shadows come to dwell,  
You sought the crown of tyrants, but found your own hell.  
What good is it to gain the world, hold dominion over all,  
When the depth of your spirit lies shackled beyond the wall?

When the depth of your spirit lies shackled beyond the wall?

(Chorus)  
What good is it to gain the world’s embrace,  
When the soul lies in chains, stripped of its grace?  
In the spiral of greed, you dare to lose sight,  
Eclipsed by the darkness that swallows your light!
What good is it to gain the world’s embrace,  
When the soul lies in chains, stripped of its grace?  
In the spiral of greed, you dare to lose sight,  
Eclipsed by the darkness that swallows your light!
