As I open up my eyes
I see a face I don't recognise
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 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 fall
Liberty and metal for all
Countdown, your time has come
I'm 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
Cannot rest until I found the master key
The master key of trust
In my mind, the arctic wind blows
Cannot sleep, I cannot rest
Before the dawn brings back the light
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 dream
