Lo, we stand as mighty kings,
With gilded halls and phantom rings.
Our triumph crowns both day and night,
Yet darkness coils beneath the light.
In excess, we taste our doom,
Pride's echo stirs the silent room.
Fate doth grin beyond our sight,
For doom's sweet poison feigns delight.
The hungry hearts that strive for more,
Now scorn the warnings told before.
In vanity we raise our glass,
A fragile throne so sure to pass.
In excess, we taste our doom,
Pride's echo stirs the silent room.
Fate doth grin beyond our sight,
For doom's sweet poison feigns delight.
Thus revel on in fleeting grace,
Oblivion waits to take its place.
