Lyrics:

As the steam from the street starts to rise

The gutter whispers

That the moon like a child has arrived

The dark has missed her



And the light that she lends is a guide

Among her shadows

Like the ghost from the past that survive



And you ask me now

What is my intent

Here among the ruins

Cloaked in false pretence

And how do I belong



I seek power

Where the power remains

I seek power

In the back of your brain



How will you see me

If you don't know where I hide

How will you bleed me

If I am somewhere inside



In the ashes of empires lost

A distant warning

On the danger of ignoring cost

and children mourning

As the memories cloud in our mind

The past can glitter

And so it has been designed



I know every lie

That the mind invents

Though they're well disguised

And cloaked in innocence

And how do I belong



I seek power

Where the power remains

I seek power

Like the kiss of cocaine

I seek power

As the darkness descends

I seek power

And i'll have it again



I seek power

Where the power remains

I seek power

Like the kiss of cocaine

I seek power

When it's not always wise

I seek power

For the power survives
