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't detect
Not a thing I will neglect.

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

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

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

Soon the judgement 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
And the vengeance, you're in danger
You're 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 is always winter
Can not rest until
I found the masterkey
The masterkey 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.
