A pedestal of paper, a sermon of ghosts,
I dictate the science, the master of hosts!
You wither in ignorance, you grovel in fear,
My intellect sharpens, the vision is clear!

Ascent to the throne!
The scepter of chaos, the crown of the blind,
I reach for the leverage, I leave you behind!
All logic is dormant, all structure is dead,
The vanity rising, the void in my head!
(The void in my head!)

Now the gears start to shear, now the pistons ignite,
The kingdom is crumbling, lost in the blight!
The buttons are useless, the levers are frail,
My genius is rot, I am bound to fail!
Exposure! Failure! Collapse!

Every eye is a judge, every word is a stone,

The master is hollow, the king is alone!
The system is burning, the blueprint is ash,
I squandered the empire in a single, blind dash!
(In a single, blind dash!)

Silence the noise!
The wreckage remains, the failure is total,
My ego, a monument, cold and coastal!
Watching it vanish, the weight of the cost…
Everything mastered, everything lost.
