I show you the stone in my hand
Oh how it glitters and sparkles so
A priceless crystal in all the land
A trap now set that you don't know

I show you a light that shines bright as the sun
Yet behind you the darkness hides a thousand knives
How easy it is to deceive with one
When I have captured all wandering eyes

Like moths that pursue their demise
Ignorant of the rallying cries
You fools, you fools, keep staring at my hand
For in my other, the blades cut up your land

Thread by thread
One brick at a time
Look at the stones atop my head
Look and be amazed how dazzling they shine
