I am the author
Dream up your pain
Drink as did Bacchus
Rebel just like CainLord of the city
I shall remain
All pandemonium
I shall reignSit in my fortress
Up on my hill
Drinking the wine
'Til I've had my fillBuilding up high
My castle walls
Oh, to veil
My splendid fallI present you
I present to you
I present you
This crown of wormsI present you
I present to you
I present you
This crown of wormsSurrounding myself
With misery
Drawn curtains heavy
Of my historyExquisite I am
Perfect unity
On my left hand
Is false majestyI feign affection
Refute the true story
Dispute with creation
The lie is my gloryI care for no-one
My gospel is death
For me the lights gone
Only darkness is leftI present you
I present to you
I present you
This crown of wormsI present you
I present to you
I present you
This crown of wormsAs black in deed
As cold as stone
A commandment of one
As proud as goldAs neglected in spirit
As time is old
As legion is numbers
As legend is toldI am alone
With the agony of truth
My power of will
My judgment and chainMy end is knowledge
And conscience of guilt
My final confusion
Hidden from me 'til I'm done
