These hands laid waste the forests Blessed only at the dawn of an age They sent countless men to mines and their deaths Mankind embraced my reign All comforts now begin with my power Their lives lie in my rage Abstractions gain the fruits of their honor Yet tis my guise that lets them pray And while I build them up I will tear them down Cut the head off the snake and watch the rest fall Thoughtlessly to the ground I am the third revelation Born of blood a self-made god The silent tyrant of a worthless nation You came to me a mindless knave Filled to the brim with nothing in hand Demand of your maker another scrap I'll kill you where you stand
