Finally the sun has set on my eternal eve

But with immortal life comes solemn responsibility

When everything I’ve ever wished is finally real to me

All parade before my eyes: a cabaret of dreams

First, the castle perched upon the cliff above the sea

Next, repair The Great Divide, to dock at Fiddler’s Green

Then, the endless rum and banquets, though I never eat

Instead, consume the husks upon the shore when I grow weak

Fear me

Love me

Do as I say

For I will be the keeper of your soul

To whom you pray

Death was never so empowering

The lost are mine for the devouring

The world of drowned is mine to shape

I, the Architect of Creation

I could paint this world as the scenery of my soul

Just consume the light of life so I never grow old

I could be their saviour - should they wish it, to be saved

All that they require or desire, just be named

Fear me

Love me

Do as I say

Death was never so empowering

The days are gone of crying and cowering

I’ll bury both my pride and shame

I, the Architect of Creation

Starting with the carcass of the beast upon the shore

Megalomaniacally, I’ll feast forevermore

And though with every wish I grant

Be it theirs or mine

The shreds of my humanity

Turn sharply in decline

Cosmic powers come with an inescapable price

But I will be a queen in a world of my design

Death was never so empowering

The lost are mine for the devouring

The world of drowned is mine to shape

I, the Architect

Death was never so empowering

The days are gone of crying and cowering

I’ll bury both my pride and shame

I, the Architect of Creation
