Through the ashes of fallen empires
 we can see the shadows of failure
 Now I'm standing here, force of destiny!
 I was born to lead you out of [bad word] 
 Sometimes you lose your temper
 and sometimes you lose a friend
 But in the hour of darkness
 your reign will be lost again

 No, I'm reclaiming what is mine
 Gods gave me a sign
 They blessed with their mind
 But i don't give a [bad word]  I am my own god! The golden emperor!

 No sun will shine forever
 Black holes in time
 and no son will be born
 Just another mad reign

 All my forefathers made one big mistake
 They demand allegiance with the iron stake
 You could say my people are not free
 but all they need is me
 They follow me into death
 Just out of [bad word] belief

 Sometimes you lose your temper
 and sometimes you lose a friend
 But in the hour of darkness
 your reign will be lost again

 I'm reclaiming what is mine
 Gods gave me a sign
 They blessed with their mind
 But i don't give a [bad word]  I am my own god! Forever! The golden emperor!
 Forever! The golden emperor!

 Rome wasn't built in a day
 No King born to stay
 Power is a [bad word]  there is no hope

 I watched so many kings go by
 and no one was free from sin
 Their kingdom's destroyed
 Their kingdom's destroyed
 by only one lie

 I'm reclaiming what is mine
 Gods gave me a sign
 They blessed with their mind
 But i don't give a [bad word]  I am my own god! Forever! The golden emperor!

 No sun will shine forever
 Black holes in time
 and no son will be born
 Just another mad reign
