lyrics

This is my chance to seize an empire of Roman proportions.
Alexander, defeat will come too soon.

They’ve been trading with the enemy, they can’t withstand or contend La Grande Armee.

Send word to Paris the army marches at midnight.
Long time old friend, showed him my strategies.
As Moscow burns down I’ll walk to the door.
Russian winters kill before.

When I refuse to retreat you should always pursue with a justice that topples crowns.
I had a chance to rule this world anyhow.
Thoughts from the past keep on flashing back, showing the world what they could have lacked now.
Tell that I’m not.
Perfect Josephine, you are my lucky star I wish château de Malmaison wasn’t so god damn far I’d say.

They’re closing in the gaps!

All sides now close in while I make my escape back home.
Sent away to an island not far off from my old home where I’ll take you as my only friend.
