Emperor of the Void

Lyrics

I am the king, of the great islands of grey
 Windswept and scatted, bent and confused
 My castle is my ruin, the mouldering grave
 Where the memory fades along with the mourning cry of the mother
 I am the king. The ruler of the grey Islands
 I'm the emperor of the void
 I am grey. The weakened ruler of these islands.
 I'm the emperor of the void
 Who counts the wounds, who sees the hunger, the flight of denial
 The fibers the nerves, the raptures and bursts, from arteric to cell
 Continuously repeating, the hymn of life and death
 And the holy whore, desecrated in desperation
 I am the king. The ruler of the grey Islands
 I'm the emperor of the void
 I am grey. The weakened ruler of these islands.
 I'm the emperor of the void
 ♪
 I stand before destruction, touching the stone of my realm
 So dignified... unmerciful, without empathy
 You saw my birth, an ornament in your grain
 You see my death, terrible and divine
 I am the king. The ruler of the grey Islands
 I'm the emperor of the void
 I am grey. The weakened ruler of these islands.
 I'm the emperor of the void
