RESTRICTED MODE Ruler of Shadows
End of the road, you're losing your way The price of the game is what you must pay A shadow is rising, it's taking the lead I am the hunger, I am the greed Taste the iron, feel the steel Tell me now, is this for real? Pulling the wires, turning the key Locked in a cage, but you think that you're free! Ruler of shadows! I'm pulling your strings Twisting your mind and the chaos it brings! Ruler of shadows! Where can you run? The end of your cycle has only begun! Step in the fire, embrace the machine The darkest obsession that you've ever seen Feeding the monster, draining the light Losing the battle, losing the fight Blame the demon, blame the ghost But you are the one who invited the host! Ruler of shadows! I'm pulling your strings Twisting your mind and the chaos it brings! Ruler of shadows! Where can you run? The strings are breaking The glass is cold The greatest story Never told Ruler of shadows
