Pain : Lonely God from a Dying World

I hold the universe in my hand like shifting sand

I can force the dead clay to breathe

But everything I create is poisoned by my own regrets.

I gave these beings life

But I also cursed them to die

To be human is to fail; to be a god is to watch them suffer

I have stood outside of time for thousands of years

This world is my kingdom, but it is built from my sins

I look into the mirror and see only the face of death

No matter how much I build

It is never enough to stop the loneliness

​Everything I made will eventually turn to dust

I thought I was a god

But I am just a man trapped in a nightmare

Watching the same sad story repeat forever

My legacy is a hollow crown

It is not enough

It will never be enough.
