28

[Verse 1]
And all I saw was flashes
And all I heard was crashes
And they said countries clashing
War erupted in the aftermath
And I felt nothing
Cause they trained me like that
So here I am; just a shell
With nothing left to react
Am I supposed to feel pain
Because the skies rain fire?
Am I supposed to feel said
Because there's tears in their eyes?
Am I supposed to care
Supposed to try
Supposed to run
Supposed to fight
I'm just a collection of organs
Pieces and insides
They told me, "Child, we have power unlimited
And we'll train you exercises in our military initiative."
But they couldn't control me
So they froze me in time
And now they whisper my name
Like it's a curse cause i was first
And caused the world to take notice
Atom bombs and a future left
Hopeless with an ocean left behind
In my wake because I used to have
A name and have a face
But now they call me twenty-eight
Yo now they now call me twenty-eight

[Chorus]
Introduced to the empire
This is the meaning of true power
I'm just a boy and I don't know why I (why I)
I feel so empty inside (I feel so empty inside)
Welcome into the empire
Frozen here for a lifetime
I'm just a god and I don't know why I (why I)
I feel so empty inside (I feel so empty inside)

[Verse 2]
What's your name?
Let me whisper in your brain
Cause I've seen the pain you kept
And how you try to fight against
Now you're lashing out
And bashing all around you
Cause you can't
Keep emotions in control
With all this new power you have
I can teach you
If you come inside
Let me lead you
We can start a world
On the other side of the galaxy
Where no one can reach you
You'll find the secrets
On why god exists within us
And science and over-reaching
Akira, number twenty-eight
Pleased to meet ya
Good to see ya, number twenty-six
I'm glad they couldn't reach ya
And Kiyoko, why the long face?
Cause you see the future, don't you?
And Masaru heard your beacon
Now I'm here to help
So won't you tell our new friend
He's got nothing to fear so let go
And let his mind clear
And search his soul
For that warm place
I'll take you by the hand
I'm number twenty-eight
This is the beginning
This is just the end

[Chorus]
Introduced to the empire
This is the meaning of true power
I'm just a boy and I don't know why I (why I)
I feel so empty inside (I feel so empty inside)
Welcome into the empire
Frozen here for a lifetime
I'm just a god and I don't know why I (why I)
I feel so empty inside (I feel so empty inside)
