Hesper Payne Empty Emperor Lyrics

Let me tell you a story
Of hatred death and despair
From a time of darkness
Screams of the wretched fill the air

Empty Emperor brooding in the darkness
Upon a throne of skulls
Dead eyes see everything
Staring at the suns demise
Winged things of abyssal origin
Scream over ashen wastes
Grubbing in the dirt below
The descendants of betrayal

Old, dead, hands
Reach for your soul

Empty Emperor alone among the shadows
Rules over a cold dead world
Corpse planet, monoliths of deadstone
Stand stark against a pitiless sky
Funeral fire, consuming pyre
Inferno tombs that where once cities Devastation now in rule
Carnage dances to the Emperors tune

Alone entombed in the frozen planet
Doomed until the end of time

Alone I control this world
The forces of decay
Are mine to command
Entropy my cold and sterile lover
Birthed to me her children
From her barren womb

Empty Emperor carious in grimnity
Surveys his charnel palace
Feeling neither joy nor glory
The embodiment of the void
Ash statues frozen in fear
Stand sentinel on nothing but dust
Empty Emperor finally in solitude
Planet death spins on into darkness
