I’ve seen empires rise and time and wars turned them to dust I’ve been a leader of men, I watched them crumble into rust I’ve known the great despair of losing all that made you whole And shown the power I hold, as forces battle for my soul I am the chosen one, the last Yet I am alone Won’t kneel for any man or god Immortal victor, only one Now I am alone I am free yet still a slave to time And I am alone I was enslaved, too blind to see that all this power was a lie A pawn in a madman’s game, Heaven and Earth condemned to die Too late I realised I was nothing but a slave Rose up, dark deicide, alone but free now of my chains I was the chosen one, the last Now I am alone Boundless power, cursed to be a god Eternal servitude to time All on my own I know what must be done; return To find my way back home… "And so it ends."
