Lyrics:
Constantinople has fallen to the Turks,
Which makes me the defender of Rome
On all sides I face our enemies
And those within who seek my throne

But god has chosen me as his weapon
To purge those who stand in my way
The flame of Christians can’t be extinguished
And those who oppose me in blood shall pay

For its future, Moscow needs an empire,
And Kazan seems ripe to invade
Ride forward my knights and soldiers
Crush them all in my great crusade

Paranoia creeping in
Must purge Russia of all sin
Paranoia creeping in
Must purge Russia of all sin

All shall fear the wrath of the czar
From the Kremlin there’s nowhere to hide
I am god’s terrible instrument
For I am Ivan and I am divine

Power, absolute power
Inspiring fear, inspiring awe
Power, absolute power
History will know my name

2
For its future, Moscow needs an ocean
And Livonia seems ripe to invade
But the boyars conspire against me
It’s time I set their beards ablaze

Children of darkness do my bidding
Spreading terror throughout my land
The middle of night may they find you
For nothing can stop Moscow’s hand

It seems to me Novgorod will betray us.
And that they seek an alliance with the Poles
The children of darkness pillage and raid them.
For nothing will ever escape my control

Paranoia creeping in
Must purge Russia of all sin
Paranoia creeping in
Must purge Russia of all sin

All shall fear the wrath of the czar
From the Kremlin there’s nowhere to hide
I am god’s terrible instrument
For I am Ivan and I am divine.

Power, absolute power.
Inspiring fear, inspiring awe
Power, absolute power
History will know my name

3
To the South, Crimea grows stronger,
And Moscow seems ripe to invade.
They burn my capital and enslave my people.
It takes weeks to see they’re repaid

Family has always plotted against me
My own kin and my own kind
Don’t you ever interrupt me
Ivanovich, now it’s time to die!

I bludgeon my son with the end of my scepter
And tremble in fear at what I have done
God forgive me, I’ve become a monster
I feel my mind becoming undone

Paranoia creeping in
Must purge Russia of its sin
Paranoia creeping in
Must purge Russia of all sin

I now fear the wraith of our God
From my sins, there’s nowhere to hide
May my people judge me kindly
For we so different, you and I?

Power, absolute power.
Corrupting souls, corrupting all
Power, absolute power
History will know my name
