Victory Is Meaningless, War Is Everything

Here I stand With the world in my hand Yet somehow I feel so empty... Covered in blood This doesn't feel as it should This victory feels so empty... My armies flood the plains Trampling bodies of the slain And yet, I am alone Above the crowd I stand tall and so proud But I am hollow inside, Left with no fight
