[Verse] A kingdom built on fractured lines The gilded throne of warped designs A master with a surgeon's hand Turning men to dust and sand [Verse 2] The mask hides what he can't reveal A touch of death his iron seal No room for chaos no room for sin Break the pieces start again [Chorus] Bow to the king of control tonight Breaking the world to make it right Power flows where the broken kneel Twisting the world until it heals [Verse 3] A glint of light but the shadow's strong The means are twisted the end feels wrong His faith a hammer his rage refined In perfect order chaos is confined [Bridge] But who decides the path to tread What’s the cost of the tears we’ve shed A flawless world left stained by pain What’s rebuilt may not remain [Verse 4] The tide may turn but the scars won't fade The emperor alone stands in the shade Master of ruin but haunted inside No one escapes the clash of pride
