Sceptre
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
