I am the hand of empire
An extension of will
The person I was lives
In my memory still
My purpose is greater
I won't be the same, my title my name
The hand of empire
Is armed for war
Finding once more the struggle we face
Each day this side of death's dark gate
Just to predict the shape of our lives
And wrest control of our own fate
Facing one more the struggle within we wait
Nothing can stop this empire
As it ever expands
The path I have chosen
Has left blood on my hands
My mission completed
A tyrant released, and terror unleashed
I serve this empire
But what have I done
Finding once more the struggle we face
Each day this side of death's dark gate
Just to predict the shape of our lives
And wrest control of our own fate
Finding once more the struggle we face
Each day this side of death's dark gate
Just to predict the shape of our lives
And wrest control of our own fate
Facing one more the struggle within we wait
