Chorus

In its infancy

floating in a cosmic sea

The spark of consciousness

gave birth to the elder beings

For the longest time

the self-proclaimed divine

sought out to create

worlds of mindless peons

I defied their will

their intentions most ill

they struck me down

Verse 1

Many know the tale of the fallen god

The demiurge that sheltered the weak and flawed

From his wounds, his legacy was born

In our hearts, a divine, inherited scorn

Bridge

Through him, his battles, we learn that even gods can bleed

if there is a soul with an ardent will, and the courage that they lack

Through time and hardship, their age loses meaning

and as we grow, both stronger and prouder, their threats and deceit speak all the louder

Wounds in immortal flesh that show us we are not worthless

Chorus

In its infancy

floating in a cosmic sea

The spark of consciousness

gave birth to the elder beings

For the longest time

the self-proclaimed divine

sought out to create

worlds of mindless peons

I defied their will

their intentions most ill

they struck me down

Verse 2

The rage

The treachery

His curses on the first page

in the tome of ancestry

His mind

His vengeful plot

to protect mankind

while left to die and rot

Verse 3

My final gift to you

though young you still are

Your efforts won't fall through

heed the warning from his memoir

Verse 4

Though downtrodden, or so we thought

there is still hope to survive

If we look for hope where we ought

we may one day live as we strive

As the legacy of a dead god

we know we’re never unarmed

We see through his equals facade

They pretend they cannot be harmed

Chorus

In its infancy

floating in a cosmic sea

The spark of consciousness

gave birth to the elder beings

For the longest time

the self-proclaimed divine

sought out to create

worlds of mindless peons

I defied their will

their intentions most ill

they struck me down
