They say men go to war for glory, for gold, for god

But dig deep enough into the blood and ash

and you’ll find a child, screaming beneath the armor

A boy, unseen

A son, unloved

Empires fall by his hand - but he still reaches for hers

And when a mother’s warmth turns cold

The world must burn to feel like home

Crossed the Rubicon with flame

Gaul and Rome now chant my name

Daggered friends, a throne of lies

Still no gaze from your cold eyes

Mother - do you see me now?

For your love, I’ve killed ‘em all

Love me, praise me, say my name

Or I’ll set the stars in flame

World split by my hungry blade

Hearts and lands to ruin laid

From Indus back to Macedon

but your love I could not earn

Mother - do you see me now?

For your love, I’ve killed ‘em all

Love me, praise me, say my name

Or I’ll set the stars in flame

March on you worthless pawns

Battlefield calls

Cannons roared at Austerlitz

Steel and smoke, my mother’s kiss

Thrones I shattered, flags I bled

Still she spoke his name instead

Mother - do you see me now?

For your love, I’ve killed ‘em all

Love me, praise me, say my name

Or I’ll set the stars in flame

Mother - do you see me now?

For your love, I’ve killed ‘em all

Love me, praise me, say my name

Or I’ll set the stars in flame
