Emperor of the Void Lyrics[Verse 1]
I am the king of the great islands of grey
Windswept and scarred, bent and confused
My castle's my ruin, the moldering grave
Where the memory fades along
With the mourning cry of the mother

[Chorus]
I am the king, the ruler of the grey Islands
I'm the emperor of the void
I am grey, the weakened ruler of these islands
I'm the emperor of the void
[Verse 2]
Who counts the wounds?
Who sees the hunger, the flight of denial?
The fibers, the nerves
That raptures and bursts from artery to cell

Continuously repeating
The hymn of life and death
And the holy whore
Desecrated in desperation

[Chorus]
I am the king, the ruler of the grey Islands
I'm the emperor of the void
I am grey, the weakened ruler of these islands
I'm the emperor of the void

[Verse 3]
I stand before destruction, touching the stone of my realm
So dignified, unmerciful, without empathy
You saw my birth, an ornament in your grain
You see my death, terrible and divine

[Chorus]
I am the king, the ruler of the grey Islands
I'm the emperor of the void
I am grey, the weakened ruler of these islands
I'm the emperor of the void
