The Shape Of The Enemy

<br>While walking through the corridors of power<br>Beware of delusions that only drag you down<br>You serve a system built on intrigues and cheat<br>Maybe there`s no way to escape your own defeat<br><br>Can you still see the shape of the enemy?<br>As you sink deeper and deeper in sin and misery<br>You wished for a shining return of the empire<br>Fate has not decided yet, will it all end in fire?<br><br>The omens were there - you failed to see<br>New allies add to the list of fatalities<br>Unable to recognize you`re just a part of something greater<br>A new age is coming, hard to accept your role as a puppet<br><br>Can you still see the shape of the enemy?<br>Your shame goes hand in hand with sin and misery<br>Glory you wanted, for a conquering empire<br>Fate has not decided yet, will it all end in fire?<br><br>Why is there a monster on the throne?<br>You put it there, now terror of silence reigns all alone<br>May this loneliness fade away from your personal dome<br>Sometimes even shadows can guide us the way home...<br><br>Can you still see the shape of the enemy?<br>As you sink deeper and deeper in sin and misery<br>Pain is all you received for the beloved empire<br>Fate has not decided yet, will it all end in fire?<br><br><br>("The Winter Of Our Discontent")
