As I open up my eyes
I see a face I don't recognize
If the mirror tells the truth
Then who the hell am I

I scan the surface high and low
I hear voices from above
Everything I can detect
Not a thing I will neglect

Countdown, I'm coming through
I'm the vengeance
I'm the danger
I'm one, the shining sun

Shadow Empire, Shadow Empire
The rise of the machine
Shadow Empire, Shadow Empire
They rise up from their graves, to steal our dreams

I see the world in infrared
I hear the voices of the dead
I'm half man and half machine
The essence of your dream

Soon the judgment bell will toll
I'll take back everything they stole
I'm the judge, the hammer falls
Liberty and metal for all

Countdown, your time has come
I'm the vengeance
Your in danger
Your the one, let justice be done

Shadow Empire, Shadow Empire
The rise of the machine
Shadow Empire, Shadow Empire
They rise up from the graves to steal our vivid dreams

In my heart there's always winter
Can not rest until I found the master key
The master key of trust

In my mind the arctic wind blows
Can not sleep, I can not rest before the dawn
Brings back the light, the light of day.

Shadow Empire, Shadow Empire
The rise of the machine
Shadow Empire, Shadow Empire
They rise up from the graves to steal our vivid dreams
