I woke up by the river
In the cold of the winter
From there I surveyed

The death and decay
Through the eyes of a sinner


I woke up, I was a free man
The type everyone wanted to be, man
And the only thing I knew

Was the price of my soul

Chorus


An empire bathed in gold
Engulfed by fire and brimstone

Cause nothing is worth the wait
When you're leaving this world alone


So I spoke to the Devil
He said "Son, you are so close now
All you have to do is take my hand"

I said "No, I am a free man
The type everyone wants to be, man
And the only thing I know is the price of my soul".


Chorus


When you're leaving this world alone
