lyrics

A dying world
A dying race
Imprisoned within themselves

Selfishly clutching his scepter
he implodes on his deathbed
and turns to dust right before their eyes
Two new contenders vie for the title
Slaves haul in the ceremonial stone
Swing their swords at it one by one

With one devastating strike
a smoldering chunk breaks free

The victor proudly assumes his role
They banish the loser and strip his robes
He goes off in search of last remaining ones
Can heal them all with the aligning suns
