Lyrics

It's in the sound and it's in the street
Yeah you filled me full of disbelief
And I know retaliation is a distant dream
But it's time to make a change
So let me give you my name
So that you know just who to blame
When your life goes wrong
The shame is I cannot recall
A single time when I stood strong

I will write my will across the sky
I will darken the sun and take hold of time
I will tear this world down around me
And smile as it burns

A brilliant white sun
Lives in my soul
I am a product of a burnt out core
You have made me deadly
Something to be feared
Have you met a monster?
Come and meet one here

I will write my will across the sky
I will darken the sun and take hold of time
I will tear this world down around me
And smile as it burns
I will make a ruin of this Earth
For good or ill I will make sure that I am heard
I don't care for any objections
I will rule the earth

I hold the reigns of life and death
I'll summon the wind with a single breath
Worship all that I have done
And know that I am dust

(I'll bring your nails, you bring their cross)

(Don't make of me a liar
You can save yourself from fire
Rescue me, rescue us
From what you've done)

So what words will mark your gravestone?
And will they be put there by me?
And when all is said and done, oh
Will you still be my enemy?

And when the world returns to ashes
And everything we've made is dust
Do you believe that you'll remember
All of the kings of this Earth?

For we have built a grand cathedral
And we have filled it with ourselves
A graven image so distasteful
We almost couldn't stand to bow

Yes the world's become an idol
A pagan altar to our pride
And we have worshipped our own shadows
Lifted ourselves up to the sky

I will write my will across the sky
I will darken the sun and take hold of time
I will tear this world down around me
And smile as it burns
I will make a ruin of this Earth
For good or ill I will make sure that I am heard
I don't care for any objections
I will rule the earth
