Sceptre - Distant Past

Imagine a kingdom built only for you

Your heritage and blood allow you

To divide and conquer

Kneel down for the emperor

My wishes must come true

Give me your life, I take your wife

All for me, I’m your Master

I rule the empire

I set the world on fire

I wear the crown, sit upon my throne

My Sceptre risen to the sky

My thumb pointing upside down

Then you know it’s time to die

Sad and lonely

In spite of all the pleasures surrounding me

No need for a reason

To torture whomever’s face I dislike

I know they live in fear

But they’ll do anything I order

I ‘m not an unholy man

But a god-like creation

They cheer and hail my name

But there’s no one I can trust

They will conspire and slowly plan my death

I rule the empire

I set the world on fire

I wear the crown, sit upon my throne

My Sceptre risen to the sky

My thumb pointing upside down

Then you know it’s time to die

So sweet whore of Rome

Take my seed and let me bleed

A heir apparent she shall produce

To immortalize our dynasty

I rule the empire

I set the world on fire

I wear the crown, sit upon my throne

My Sceptre risen to the sky

My thumb pointing upside down

Then you know it’s time to die
