It's just a matter of time
And now that the job is almost done
You thought you'd rule the world forever
Obsessed by right and wrong
So they turn towards the light
You thought you'd rule the world forever
It's just a matter of time

Far below, where shadows fester
Not one knows what hit them, none can see at all
Now all those dreams of old will be stories left untold
Now the host emerges and a shadow starts to fall
You're just a natural fact, another cul-de-sac

How can you fight a foe so deadly
Long live the king and don't spare the loser
Long live the king and don't spare the loser

Maybe some escape, no, not even one
After all, you're not what you thought you were at all
On nature's hard unfeeling trail
It's just a matter of time
You know you're on the way out
When you don't even know it's there?

Long live the king but don't spare the loser now
Even as the end approaches still they're not aware
From their region of the night

They sense their time is coming near
You know they're on the way out
Marching on and on
You know you're on the way out

As they grow an army thousands strong
Cut off in your prime, extinct until the end of time
You thought you'd rule the world forever
They near the air, it won't be long
