Crown of Worms Songtext

von Megadeth

I am the author
Dream up your pain
Drink as did bacchus
Rebel just like cain
Lord of the city
I shall remain
All pandemonium
I shall reign
Set in my fortress
Up on my hill
Drinking the wine
Till I've had my fill
Building up high
My castle walls
Oh to veil my splendid fall

I present you, I present to you
I present you, this crown of worms Surrounding myself with misery
Drawn curtains heavy of my history
Exquisite I am perfect unity
On my left hand is false majesty
I feign affection, refute the true story
Dispute with creation, the lie is my glory
I care for no-one, my gospel is death
For me the lights gone, only darkness is left

I present you, I present to you
I present you, this crown of worms As black in deed
As cold as stone
A commandment of one
As proud as gold
As neglected in spirit
As time is old
As legion is numbers
As legend is told
I am alone with the agony of truth
My power of will
My judgement and chain
My end is knowledge
And conscience of guilt
My final confusion hidden from me til I'm done
