Come with me
My child, come and see
the world of glory
I offer thee.
A world of riches and power
An empire in the worlds greatest hour.

Your gestures are grand,
But at what price do you offer?
A reign greater than a king,
But what good can come
From the gift that evils bring?

The man who can do
The greatest evil
Can also do
the greatest good.
When Judas betrayed Jesus,
he did it for God to forgive us.
It was his dive into infamy
That forgave Adam's misery.

You would have me be
Your Judas,
Your ******,
Your Stalin?
I will not be your fallen,
I will not answer your calling.
The good intentions of misguided men
Are the evils that destroy them.

To you, my child
I will not lie.
It is evil that
Brings men together
And only evil
Will unite men forever.
There is an equal evil
To that which you speak.
It is the indifference of men
Who have the ability then
To defend their weak.

It is not my indifference,
That makes your offer bleak
Instead it is my preference
To remain humble and meak.
I'll tell you now,
I'd rather till and plow
To feed the poor.
I'd rather till and plow,
To stay out of lore.
Id rather sweat and bleed
On my own accord,
Than have you as my Lord.
So leave me be,
Your power is not for me.

Oh dear son,
You are a fool,
Since you will not be the one,
I'll find another tool.
I gave you a chance
To be a part of my dance;
Instead you say
You'd rather be
"Humble and meek."
To me, that sounds like
You'd rather be
Unknown and weak.
Oh dear son,
My will WILL be done.
Don't think that you're
More special than any other *****.

Be that as it may,
From my path,
I will not stray.
As I said before,
Your power is not for me.
No, I will not do your chore.
I will not be your man,
I will I will not be ******.
I bequeath you again,
Leave me be.
