I'm the king of the world, and it's crumbling down*
All around me falls the ruins of my enemies.
You can't control me.
Or can you not see?
You can't control me.
It's time to admit defeat.

When I speak, you listen to me.

And all we need is a release, a reason to be and a fight in which we believe.
We are the ones who save ourselves, don't think these walls will keep us out.
Don't abandon, don't abandon what we've started.
'Cause I believe in you.
In fighting for whatever I have to.

You tremble and grow weak.
It'll take everything you have just to breathe.
You're begging, you're begging, "Let me out!".
You're begging, you're begging, plead for mercy.
You'll beg, you'll beg, you'll scream.
Fall to your knees.

You've failed me for the last time.
What's yours is mine.
Because I'm taking over.

And all we need is a release, a reason to be and a fight in which we believe.
We are the ones who save ourselves, don't think these walls will keep us out.
Don't abandon, don't abandon what we've started.
'Cause I believe in you.
In fighting for whatever I have to.
(Don't abandon what we've started).

'Cause I believe in you, in fighting for whatever I have to.
