the doomsday device
   that can't be armed
the body of atlas
   brain dead since birth
the meaning of existance
   on the lips of the dead
the ultimate
   that can't be used
   and if it could
   it never should
to think on high
   but stay below
to be offered all
   but tell them no
to have the power
   you never use
to be the god
   that walks to work
to know the secret
   but leave the mystery
to be strong enough
   that you remain weak
such is power
such is sageness
for in this world
   nothing good remains
the wisdom of god
   comes in a ranting insane
so i'll sit
   and wait awhile
just sit and wait
   with my ignorant smile
until at last
   the day will come
when minds will open
   and i stop playing dumb
throw off my cloak
   and proclaim
for all to hear
   thought they know not my name
"there will be no more lies
   there will be no more chains
no more cowards hiding
   behind there names
there will never be
   a true equal tsar
there is no selfless action
   without selfish intent
to each man goes responsibility
   for the time that he's spent
all are just people
   there's no we or us
live for yourself
   and to each their own"
