[Verse 1]
C#mI am the Eworld that hides the Buniversal F#secret of all time
C#mDestruction Eof the empty Bspaces is my F#one and only crime
AI've lived G#1000 times, EI found out what it F#means to be believed
AThe thoughts and G#images, the Eunborn child that F#never was conceived
C#mWhen little Eworlds collide, I'm Btrapped inside my F#embryonic cell
C#mAnd flashing Ememories are Bcast into the F#never-ending well
AThe name that G#scorns the face, the Echild that never F#sees the cause of man
AThe deathly G#darkness that Ebelies the fate of F#those who never ran
[Bridge Riff]
