Thousands of lives Passing before my throne Marching to the sound of my voice Thousands of lives Muted by my fury Who will survive? Their fates in the palm of my hand I'll make a fist I'll strike them down None will survive Admit your defeat And show us your heart The heart of a coward And the insight surfaced The truth revealed You realize You can't stand your own ground Among the raging chaos Only one soul succeeds Among his dying comrades Only one man still stands Only he stands The lifelong strife, his only teacher The bitterness of solitude His greatest strength This nightmare is his life Thousands of lives Passing before my throne Marching to the sound of my voice Can you see it in his eyes? He has the strength to carry on
