I can hear the whispers in my sleep

The voices telling me this should be mine

You, you claim you trust me (claim you trust me)You think I don′t see the doubt behind your eyes

I'm gonna build me an empire

And it′s lonely at the top

But madness and greatness can both share a face

And nobody will ever convince me to stop

It's my destiny (it's my destiny)

I was born to play this game

So fear me or love me, it′s all the same

Try to find a chain that I won′t break (a chain that I won't break)

A price I wouldn′t pay for what I want (for what I want)

So you can call me calculating (you can call me calculating)

You can say I've lost my mind (you can say I′ve lost my mind)

You can throw me to the wolves, I'll be alright

I′m gonna build me an empire

And it's lonely at the top

But madness and greatness can both share a face

And nobody will ever convince me to stop

It's my destiny (it′s my destiny)

I was born to play this game

So fear me or love me, it′s all the same (it's all the same)

Just one word, I′ll let the world burn

Just one word, I'll let the world burn

I′m gonna build me an empire

And it's lonely at the top

But madness and greatness can both share a face

And nobody will ever convince me to stop

It′s my destiny (it's my destiny)

I was born to play this game

So fear me or love me, it's all the same (it′s all the same)

So fear me or love me

It′s all the same
