You have the power You wear the crown From the pinnacle To the pit It is a long way down You wield the scepter You wear the gown From the pinnacle To the pit It is a long way down In your empire They stare and frown From the pinnacle To the pit It is a long way down You are cast out from the heavens to the ground Blackened feathers falling down You are cast out from the heavens to the ground Blackened feathers falling down You will wear your independence like a crown Cruciger globus You stand your ground The orbus figure What's flat looks round From the pinnacle To the pit It is a long way down You are cast out from the heavens to the ground Blackened feathers falling down You are cast out from the heavens to the ground Blackened feathers falling down You will wear your independence like a crown
