We Who Rule the World

I offer you a precious gift A treasure that's beyond compare A golden dream you may reject But when so close how could you dare From now until the end of time The earth the sky the stormy sea And all dark creatures you may find Will bend to you as they do me We who rule the world We who rule the world The beating heart of all the world A whirlwind dancing in your mind A rush of Death's wings in your veins And youth beyond the reach of time Power over one and all A kingdom reigning through all time A never ending feast of life All these things to give are mine We who rule the world We who rule the world I give you now this endless night A yearning for life's every spark However brief to have some warmth And light in your unending dark Of all the wonders in this world There's not a one you cannot see Except the sun and those you loved Lost now for all eternity We who rule the world We who rule the world We who rule the world... Are so lonely
