DESCRIPTION:
"King Of Nothing (Matias Kupiainen Death Star Mix)" this is the second bonus track from the 2009 Stratovarius album Polaris. This track comes from the collector's edition on a purple 7" vinyl, the outside cover is signed by the band. This track was composed by keyboardist Jens Johansson. The drums are much louder and lower on this version. It was digitized using the following: Panasonic Technics SL-1300 direct drive turntable and an Onkyo receiver to play the record into the computer, Adobe Audition for the recording and fixing some minor pops, WaveGAIN to raise the noise level a bit, LAME 3.99 to encode to mp3.

Lyrics:
In the year before we lost our empire,
We were children on the march.
We were told we had to serve our empire,
And die.
In our wake we only left destruction,
Sent their children to the grave,
In the year before we lost our empire and died...

The war was lost, but we went on...
Our king was dead and in the end nobody won...

We were told to march to death and glory,
We were told it's for our land.
In the end our tribe was left with nothing,
And died.
In the time when all our hearts were frozen,
We were soldiers for the king.
In our wake we left their castles burning and died...

The war was lost, but we went on...
And when the harvest came we found our king was gone...

The war was lost, but we went on...
And when we paid the price we found our king was gone...

The war was lost, but we fought on...
The war was lost, and in the end nobody won...
