Powerdrunk - Act II, Scene II

Death:
Never I have seen so many
fall down to their knees
Our pact is strong,
just look at all we have achieved

Emperor Primos:
Don't you think I know...?
Don't you think I see
We have fulfilled our dreams

Taking what we can
Giving what we must
Standing together - in power we trust

Death:
Every time I look into your eyes
I see concern
What is this thing that seems
to haunt you all this time?
Tell me... I need to know
Tell me... I need to know

Emperor Primos:
Lurking in the shade... something...
Like a vulture peering down on me
I am sure it strikes before I see it

Like a mirror staring back at me
Trying to tell me something...
I can't hear it...

Should I know what I feel like?
Should I know what it is?

Death:
All this is, is nothingness

No, I don't want to reminisce
Here - the present is where we live

Emperor Primos, Death:
We've got to make the most of it

Death:
Rage sooths
Pain cures
Only believe what I tell you is real...
fools

Emperor Primos:
Hush now... don't you cry
Kneel before me
and plead for mercy - you will die

And to think... I have been so wrong.
There was a time when I thought
power wouldn't solve anything -
I couldn't have been more wrong.

Death:
Standing together Primos - in powe
we trust!

Emperor Primos:
Like a vulture peering down on me
I'll be sure to strike before it sees me

Like a mirror staring back at me
Looking back,
with eyes of thunder - raging

I don't care what I feel like
All I care is to live
All that is, is everything

No, I don't want to reminisce
Here - the present is where we live
We need to make the most of it
