Far below, where shadows fester
It's just a matter of time
Even as the end approaches still they're not aware
Long live the king but don't spare the loser now
You're just a natural fact, another cul-de-sac
Maybe some escape, no, not even one
It's just a matter of time
They near the air, it won't be long
As they grow an army thousands strong
How can you fight a foe so deadly
Not one knows what hit them, none can see at all
So they turn towards the light
From their region of the night
Now all those dreams of old will be stories left untold
You thought you'd rule the world forever
You know you're on the way out
Marching on and on
You thought you'd rule the world forever
You know you're on the way out
And now that the job is almost done
Obsessed by right and wrong
After all, you're not what you thought you were at all
It's just a matter of time
They sense their time is coming near
You thought you'd rule the world forever
When you don't even know it's there?
Now the host emerges and a shadow starts to fall
Cut off in your prime, extinct until the end of time
Long live the king and don't spare the loser
You know they're on the way out
On nature's hard unfeeling trail
