Place yourself upon my throne
Set all your frantic fears aside
Feel the power, which in it sleeps
It will fulfil your darkest dreams

There’s no need for you to know
You’ll learn the satisfaction in no
Every man you once held close
Will fear your growing wrath I know

Don’t push it away
Don’t set it aside
You know your soul will stay the same
For every man you break
Your ego will grow

Make a wish and let it show
Let them see the power glow
For every time you raise your voice
Make them feel they have no choice

I know it’s easy to get lost
In this throne I once held close
Now it’s I who stand and watch
I see your ego as it grows

Don’t push it away
Don’t set it aside
You know your soul will stay the same
For every man you break
Your ego will grow
