You've got a lead-filled crown atop your head Tilts forward and backward Like a swaying pendulum Heavy is the head, they say But you'd know better than they would So tell me, how does it feel? To have all the power All the knowledge All the glory? How does it feel To know that every failure Every death Every illness Every act of hatred on this earth Is your fault? To be omnipotent You must accept all actions as your own You are the most responsible For all the actions That have taken place Look in the mirror and see infinity Because you created yourself to create entirety And the best part is All this guilt Will be forgotten All the shame Will be forgotten All the dehumanizing things you feel Will be forgotten And the depth to which you sunk Will be forgotten And the powers you might wield Will be forgotten When you wake For only in dreams Can you control as you did before

Only in dreams
You've got a lead-filled crown atop your head Tilts forward and backward Like a swaying pendulum Heavy is the head, they say But you'd know better than they would So tell me, how does it feel? To have all the power All the knowledge All the glory? How does it feel To know that every failure Every death Every illness Every act of hatred on this earth Is your fault? To be omnipotent You must accept all actions as your own You are the most responsible For all the actions That have taken place Look in the mirror and see infinity Because you created yourself to create entirety And the best part is All this guilt Will be forgotten All the shame Will be forgotten All the dehumanizing things you feel Will be forgotten And the depth to which you sunk Will be forgotten And the powers you might wield Will be forgotten When you wake For only in dreams Can you control as you did before
