Koyaanisqatsi, life out of balance…
This Castle is crumblin' as I'm sippin' from my Chalice
Alas I'm just a King when I thought I was a God
Alas I'm just a Man when I thought I was a King
Alas I'm but a Boy when I thought I was a man, damn…
I used to use my hand, as if it was God's
But these puppets are alive and have broken their string
Cause I tried to make war, but the war made me
See, the war that I waged is a reflection of me
Koyaanisqatsi, life out of balance
These lips of mine have touched the liquid malice
Creatures I see as kin have helped in my demise
They want to be the ruler, and I will not suffice
Vicariously they cannot live through my eyes
So, this castle that I've built is Doomed to Fall
With pillars like toothpicks-- Oh how they perished
Setting flame to my thrown, I know now I'm an embarrassment
For Nature runs me; I couldn't run nature
Now I stand looking through the glass
Of my dilapidating Palace
And I scream, knowing no one will hear me
Here I stand apart from the rest
But once the beating ceases in my chest
I will be consumed by the flame, and covered by the rubble
Ultimately I will be one with the Others
