Lyrics

I saved the world
And made it mine
Now I'm the air and the sunshine 

Look on my works
They're pretty sweet
The rest of history is obsolete 

This whole place was a lousy disgrace
Before I came along to lead 
I gave chase to the weak and the fake
And scattered them away like sheep


My earthly frame
Will soon dissolve
They'll build a statue that's a mile tall

The future kings
Will all despair
They'll gaze upon me with a reverent stare

They'll cry to my soul in the sky
Searching for my sage advice
But not one in the ages to come
Will ever reach my soaring heights

    Kingdoms fall and castles crumble
    But I will never disappear
    Fortunes fade and legends stumble
    But I will reign a thousand years

Some say that I’m petty and vain
I know you are but what am I?
I'm too strong to ever be wrong
So god is clearly on my side

    [Chorus]
