[verse 1] I built my throne from broken bones To crown myself divine My own Tower of Babel Prepared to fall before my eyes I dressed myself in silver Till even scars began to shine This monument of suffering I worshipped as a shrine [pre-chorus] Prometheus Surround me Give me the strength to deny Anything that forsakes me Mortal or divine [chorus] Build me a heaven I’ll tear it apart Make me an altar From the pieces of my heart If you won’t give me absolution Then I’ll forge it myself If heaven won’t have me Then I’ll play god in this hell [verse 2] I sharpened every blade With guided rage... Voracious greed… A throne of swords.. For you my lord.. To prove that even gods can bleed [bridge] I made a virtue of my vices.. Till they tore my world apart.. I kept concealing all the damage.. Pandora’s box became my heart.. I stand in desolation… What has become of this life of mine… If I subvert divine One last time Could I give this hell a new design [final chorus] Build me a heaven I’ll tear it apart Make me an altar From the pieces of my heart If you won’t give me absolution Then I’ll forge it myself If heaven won’t have me Then I’ll play god in this hell
