lyrics

I am the first
I bring the blindness sought
By those who would not see
To make empty lives easy
And to ease vapid conscience
In certainty of their knowledge
They know only what they are

The second, mine is all right
I come to show what should be theirs,
Who would have all and more besides
Enough is never enough
The soul is an empty vessel
Full of holes and filled with nothings
There can never be enough

I am third but would be first
I would abandon all to ease my path
I take away all promised aid
No cause so precious that it cannot be sold
To scale another rung
I would give all that I was
And all that you have

I am the crawling, craven one
Who cannot bear to face the light
Nor allow any semblance of truth
To penetrate my self-made world
I must have what is not mine
And would claim ownership
As it has ever been mine, in my own words

We four in conclave
Would rule an empty world
Would taste your tears of despair
See only ourselves and each other
Hear only cold laughter
As all we touch is dust
And dust is all we touch
