Please don't adore me for what I have and what I haven't got
Just adore me for who I am and what I do

You're in my mind
Constantly
Past! Present! Future!
A shadow
A portrait
A haunting memory
Casting itself over me
Patiently breathing
A blissful sigh
Out of sight
Is my last words and last prayer
For a promising future

A ghastly figure
Stands besides me
Flickering lightswitches
Burning torches
The gift of God
Opening the entrance to a cavern
Foggy fortresses seen by the horizon
All eyes on
The dirty stone walls
Imprints of an Empire that stood so tall
Only to be denied full powers
Why oh why did I not acknowledge
I, too, am an Empire
