When I was a young boy
I made a plot to cover the sun
And when the whole world cried out to me for mercy
I'd make them pay for the awful things they had done
It was simple, elementary
You bring the cash and I'll give you a piece of my treasure
It was foolproof, It was easy
It was written in me since the moment of conception
I am the child of man
The boy who blotted out the sun
I created the daylight
And I will dictate when daylight is done
All hail the throne forever
Bow down, stay away
All the weeping and gnashing of teeth outside
Should never enter this holy place
Set the boundaries, mark the regions
Keep them separate, keep them distant
I am one step from taking back everything
That I so graciously gave back to you at a discount
I am the child of man
The boy who blotted out the sun
I created the daylight
And I will dictate when daylight is done.
