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
