I'm a Shadow of Who I Used To Be I have England in my ruling hand.
I thought power would be everything,
Yeah, but now everything is nothing.
I'm just a shadow of who I used to be.
Night gathers all around me
Through me and in me,
I have lost everything to lose and yet I have won,
As a dark queen I rule my army from a distance, they do my every command
I have England in my ruling hand.
I thought power would be everything,
Yeah, but now everything is nothing.
The fires are still burning,
And hate is still yet, churning
A new day is turning
Against the blood red tides of war.
Is this really worth fighting for?
A throne made of blood and tears,
On which I rule alone, throughout my years.
I cannot go back, but I cannot go forward
Many will die by spear and sword
I no longer like what I am heading toward.
Fate has been set.
The two great forces have met.
In a battle of fury,
Violence of blood and guts as far as the eye can see.
That lesser men would flee.
So many dead,
So many of a widow's tears shed,
To the gates of Hades this all led.
My lovers are all long dead,
My remaining family estranged, and thinking of me in a hateful dread.
I'm just a shadow of who I used to be.
Night gathers all around me
Through me and in me,
I have lost everything to lose and yet I have won,
I have England in my ruling hand.
I thought power would be everything,
Yeah, but now everything is nothing.
Nothing, Nothing at all.
For power this kingdom would fall,
For power I would build in between myself and the world a wall.
All for a taste of this deadly and addictive elixir,
Many men I would erase.
Many traps I would craftily place.
Many dark deeds I would do, putting my face in disgrace.
I never knew what a shadow of a person I would become
