Sorrow turned to anger
from the scars of my history.
Fire, earth, air, and water,
in the ether I am finally free.
Free from all restrictions,
and expectations to be
the wickedest man in the world
He's the wickedest man in the world
and I don't think he's coming back.
A thousand years from now,
we will lay down in the sunset.
Await the rise of the golden dawn,
to read the book which can't be read yet
by the wickedest man in the world.
He's the wickedest man in the world,
and I don't think he's coming back.
waltzing passed the pyramids,
I sat on the devil's throne.
my teeth were stained from wine,
I drank to awaken Babylon.
I lived six thousand years now,
maybe a thousand more.
I made all your empires
rise and then they fall.
I'm the wickedest man in the world,
and I don't think I'm coming back.
