I have seen emperors fall,
And I have seen empires crumble,
I have felt the tears of history,
And I have bled the blood of nations,
I have witnessed slavery,
And I have watched freedom die,
I know the silence of a hollow heart,
And I know the pain of memory,
I stand here mute and cold,
But one day I will dare to speak,
Fear me on that dread day...
