 Though all the wealth of men was mine to squander
And towers of ivory rose beneath my feet
Were palaces of pleasure mine to wander
The sum of it would leave me incomplete

Though every soul would hold my name in honor
And truest love was always by my side
My praises sung by grateful sons and daughters
My soul would never still be satisfied

Though I could live for all to lift them higher
Or spend the centuries seeking light within
Though I indulged my every dark desire
Exhausting every avenue of sin

Though all would bow to me
Till I could drink my fill of fear and love
I could walk the world forever
Till my shoes were filled with blood

I could right all wrongs, or ravage everything beneath the sun
It’s not enough to make me whole
It’s not enough, it never was
Awake my soul
