I remember the days when darkness swept my kingdoms

My evil spirit hovered so majestic across the skies

I remember as a sovereign throughout my kingdoms I rode

And how my mere appearance made my subjects tremble

I was the tyrant whose every whim was to be abided

Every man hated me but none dared entice my rage

From my black castle I ruled the lives of mortals

In the ancient days when frost covered my palace

The roads of my kingdom was bordered with bodies

Suspended from gallows for ravens to pick clean

There hung the traitors, conspirators and thiefs

Together with those whom I stringed up for fun

It did not matter if they were guilty or not

As long as their death adorned my kingdom dark

They served their purpose as morbid decorations

In the ancient days when frost covered my palace

Cloaked in black from the shoulders down

I rode through the misty nights

The hooves of my horse was Heard

As a sign of certain death

No smile ever haunted my face

No love ever paid me homage

My face was marked by sadness

And bore the traces of anguish

Of mortals nothing was spared

But hollowed skulls as morbid chalices

I drank the blood of my enemies

While sitting alone upon my throne

I was the almighty tyrant

Hand in hand with darkness

How I yearn for these days

And my kingdom to return
