You think you found me
But it was I who found you
I was here from the beginning, you see
I was here all along
The world, my tune
The universe, my song

Sticks and stones, I created them all
From the wheel to the Great Wall
As old as time, I am
Long before Babylon
I've seen it rise
I've seen it fall
I was the foundation after all

From kings to philosophers and poets of old
I immortalized them
Made them more precious than silver and gold
Papers and pens were all it took
And words, ah, most importantly the words
And forever they live in history books

I am one, and I am all
Yet you dare have me exclusively
And chain me in patents of my own laws
Oh, the greed of man shall be his downfall
What is money? What is fame?
Such things won't last, what a shame

Insolent man,
Let go of desire in things you see
For once, just for once, listen to me
Hear me knock at the door of your mind
An idea! That's what I am
Immortality

Insolent man,
Open up
Let me in

...and together


...we shall live


...forever
