Dynasty of Darkness

A dynasty had grown

From such a simple thing

Many have tried to own

What only death can bring

What started out as good

Corrupted over time

Some perished where they stood

Others began to climb

Possess all you can

Is the folly of man

You cannot break free

From this dark dynasty

Descend the long stair

That leads to nowhere

There's no turning back

You can't cry it's unfair

Can't stop what's begun

There's nowhere to run

It can't be undone

Young Helmut learned too late

Who he should not believe

A child's faith is great

So easy to deceive

He's just another limb

A twisted family tree

Free to prune or trim

To serve another's need

If vengeance is your guide

You're lost before you leave

If power is your bride

Your lover will deceive

A lesson learned too late

Is not to learn at all

To choose a hated fate

To become hatreds' thrall

An eye for an eye

Until everyone's blind

You cannot break free

From this dark dynasty

[Chorus]
