I climbed a mountain
That walking on water feeling
The power
The strength
The mania
I made the river red
I parted the sea
The power
The strength
The mania
I cured cancer
I won the Nobel Prize
The power
The strength
The mania
I pressed the button
I dropped the bomb
The power
The strength
The mania
I created the Earth, light, everything
On the 7th day I rested
The power
The strength
The mania

At either end...
As a child I crawled into a culvert
I went into the tunnel
After a while it grew dark
The stones bruised my hands and knees
The water chilled me
It wasn't until then that I realized
What it was like to be alone
That I was alone
The day still sticks with me
When I have time to think
I am in that tunnel again
Alone
A small spot of light at either end
It's impossible to turn around
So I go forward
And hope that when this ends
I won't be alone
I went into the tunnel
After a while it grew dark
The stones bruised my hands and knees
The water chilled me
It wasn't until then that I realized
What it was like to be alone
That I was alone
The day still sticks with me
When I have time to think
I am in that tunnel again
Alone
A small spot of light at either end
It's impossible to turn around
So I go forward
And hope that when this ends
I won't be alone
Memorial...
in the park stands a memorial
not proud, not meager, but forgotten
sheltered from the world
a figure rides astride a horse
rearing
fallen in battle and misunderstood
the orders given to protect
were warped before they reached the ears of the followers
prejudiced, they destroy
fallen but they fight in the name
but they forget
the memorial is forgotten
on it is a plaque and there it is written
here lies God
not proud, not meager, but forgotten
sheltered from the world
a figure rides astride a horse
rearing
fallen in battle and misunderstood
the orders given to protect
were warped before they reached the ears of the followers
prejudiced, they destroy
fallen but they fight in the name
but they forget
the memorial is forgotten
on it is a plaque and there it is written
here lies God
