lyrics

Dear mortal, I’ve let you survive
You should be grateful you still have your life
Allow me to introduce myself
I am the ruler of this cosmic realm

I chose whether you live or die
I’m the reason you’re still alive
You’re her to worship me
Now get down on your knees

And I bow to no one
And I worship none
I know I’m not a god
Because I killed his son

You’ve got some fight, yes I’ll give you that
You will entertain nicely, but don’t forget
I choose whether you live or die
I’m the reason you’re still alive

I guess I should feel privileged
I guess I should feel Blessed
Stripped of liberty
Kept here as your pet
I choose whether I live or die
I’m the reason I’m still alive

Bowing to no one
I worship none
Bowing to no one
I worship none

Your persistence is the best I have seen
But it gets harder to resist the machine
You’ll soon realize I’ve got what you need
You would be wise not to bite the hand that feeds

I guess I should feel privileged (Yes you should feel privileged)
I guess I should feel Blessed (And yes you should feel blessed)
Stripped of liberty (I gave you liberty)
Kept here as your pet (Kept you as my pet)
I choose whether I live or die (I choose whether you live or die)
I’m the reason I’m still alive (I’m the reason you’re still alive)
