Analysis of Empire
I live in a castle
As a dark knight
My world's dark and gloomy
Living without light
Battling my inner demons
I walked through the darkest night
Dreams crashed upon me
For my empire I fight
Life seems meaningless
Without plight
Without an empress
I'm losing this fight
I stare into the monster eyes
I will rise like a king
To slay dragon with my one slice
Just to win her a ring
Broken and depressed
I always suffer in pain
Why am I the only one left
I want to see the light again
I never forget that dream
When I saw the light
I will no longer live in darkness
When I win the fight
