I woke from a never ending sorrow
From a life that didn't want me to be good as you are
You may have thought you had my face in the mud

But the breath of death uncovered my path
Fear the hopeless and the broken
'Cause I am not afraid

My life is gonna be mine
Welcome to my empire
Now tell me who you think you see

And when your demons knock at your door
Ready to take you away
You know the one who knocks is me

Now say my name
Behold my rise

I am now a study in transformation
Behold my fall

Everything I've done, I did it for myself
My life is gonna be mine

Welcome to my empire
Now tell me who you think you see
And when your demons knock at your door

Ready to take you away
You know the one who knocks is me
Now say my name
