Lyrics
When I Was God
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Verse 1:
Here I am, the iron man.
I never thought this was an evil job.
When a kid, I dreamed of this.
The days when I've played god.
Chorus:
Sometimes I only remember the days when I was god.
Sometimes I only remember when I was young & stupid.
I didn't like it.
Sometimes I only remember the days when I was god.
Sometimes I only remember when I was young & stupid.
Just to spite it.
Verse 2:
I have the power, I'm no coward.
I absorb the pain that's considered bliss.
I hold the seas, control the breeze.
This is what reality is.
Chorus
Verse 3:
Of all the gods, I am the god.
Planting seeds of all that's wrong.
From the open void, I shall destroy.
I only love to play my god.
Chorus
