Lyrics
When I see the light
Perception of hope or positivity ("light")
Darkness will surround
Anticipation of challenges or difficulties ("Darkness will surround")
The world
The entirety of existence
My empire will crash and burn
An impending downfall or failure of personal dominion
Forever
Indefinite duration, possibly expressing a sense of permanence
In eternity
An infinite and timeless realm
Where I will
The future state of existence
Reign
Exercise of authority or control
Running out of time
A sense of urgency or impending limitation
I can see my fate
Awareness of one's destiny
The return of
A thematic reappearance or revival
Forgotten tales speak
Recollection of forgotten stories
Words turn silent
The transition from vocal expression to silence
Let them chant my name
An invitation for others to celebrate or acknowledge the persona
In glory
Glorious recognition or tribute
Stories of misery
Narratives depicting intense suffering or unhappiness
The failure
Instances of personal or collective defeat
The greed
Excessive desire for possessions or power
The suffering
Pain and distress experienced
Let my name echo
Desire for one's name to resonate or be remembered
Into
The vast emptiness or nothingness
The void
Repeated acknowledgment of the contrast between light and darkness
When I see the light
Reiteration of the theme of hope or positivity
Darkness will surround
Repetition of the idea of challenges or difficulties
The world
Reiteration of the entirety of existence
My empire will crash and burn
Repetition of the impending downfall or failure
Forever
Repetition of an indefinite duration
In eternity
Repetition of an infinite and timeless realm
Where I will
Repetition of the future state of existence
Reign
Reiteration of the exercise of authority or control
