Emperor Of The Void |
I am the king of the great islands of grey |
Windswept and scarred, bent and confused |
My castle’s my ruin, the moldering grave |
Where the memory fades along |
With the mourning cry of the mother |
I am the king, the ruler of the grey Islands |
I’m the emperor of the void |
I am grey, the weakened ruler of these islands |
I’m the emperor of the void |
Who counts the wounds? |
Who sees the hunger, the flight of denial? |
The fibers, the nerves |
That raptures and bursts from artery to cell |
Continuously repeating |
The hymn of life and death |
And the holy whore |
Desecrated in desperation |
I am the king, the ruler of the grey Islands |
I’m the emperor of the void |
I am grey, the weakened ruler of these islands |
I’m the emperor of the void |
I stand before destruction, touching the stone of my realm |
So dignified, unmerciful, without empathy |
You saw my birth, an ornament in your grain |
You see my death, terrible and divine |
I am the king, the ruler of the grey Islands |
I’m the emperor of the void |
I am grey, the weakened ruler of these islands |
I’m the emperor of the void |
