Forsaken Emperor

What is this

What is this you carry inside, my child

Are all these questions without answer

Driving you to proceed with no meaning

Is this stone

This ice-cold stone glowing your heart

Was it taken out still pounding

And twisted by fingers of madness

Understand this

Where you walk there is nothing

You seek a place not existing

Yet you are blinder by anger and fear

Did you bring this upon yourself

Or was the yoke placed on your shoulders

One can not brind oneself into despair

So you have walked

The fields of damnation

This you have and no tears fell

For there are no more to shed

Still you have faced

You have faced your shadows so many times

That contains what you would like to put behind

Shades of black of vast magnitude

In this what builds your walls

Understand this

Where you walk there is nothing

You seek a place not existing

Yet you are blinded by anger and fear

What is it that you demand

All have desires not fulfilled

But where your throne once was empty

An insect took your place

And infected your burning longing

Lost in a desert of nothingness

One can not but dream

That your throne again will be yours to claim

Did you bring this upon yourself

Did you tie your own hands

Did you bring this upon yourself

And placed yourself upon the stake

So you have walked

The fields of damnation

One can not bring oneself into despair

Did you cause this pain

Did you cause these bleeding eyes

Turned away from the laughing truth

Or are you the conqueror
