Dark Lord

I once stood where you stand
Destruction, my medicine
With blood on my hands
It was me who held the darkest sin

You think you're so smart
Deception and confusion to blind us all
So, let us go back to the start
To the beginning of my fall

Commanding legions
Waging wars
Conquering new regions
Disheartening enlightened stars

I was on top of the world, so it seems
And what a place to be
But all these voices, and all these screams
Led me astray from what I should see

I tried to run, to no avail
They tied me up and tried me
I lived to see my kingdom fail
And in death was made a mockery

But now, the cards are in my court
And you're the dirty rascal
Through your limbs and bowels, I'll sort
With bombs and tanks, we'll blow up your castle

I'm one devil
And you happen to be another
Come down to my level
We'll fight it out, one against the other

I've got my minions
And you've got yours
Where would you stand without their opinions?
To this end, I've always stood facing closed doors

Even if the dark abandoned me
I've still got the light
If they were to leave you in your agony
Could stand up to fight?

I know time after time you've tried to deceive me
Your efforts prove futile
I'd never give in to you so easily
In all truth, your incompetence is infantile

To take you down
Will be a glorious day
To see you lying on the ground
I wouldn't have it any other way
