I shame the mountains.
I walk through time.
I draw all beings unto me
as slaves and concubines.

I am the storm-maker.
I bend the light.
I am the Dreams of Machines
born of this model mind.

Only I can restore
what only I have destroyed.
Only I shall pass the secret trials.
Only I.
Only I.

My word is justice.
My nerve is crime.
I am the black guillotine blade 
that spans 3,000 miles.

Only I can restore
what only I have destroyed.
Only I shall pass the secret trials.
Only I.
Only I.

If you dare to press you will,
if you care to *test* your voice,
know only I am become the final silence –
Only I.
Only I.

(Inst.)

Only I can restore
what only I have destroyed.
Only I shall pass the secret trials.
Only I will press you will.
Only I can *test* your voice.
For only I am become the final silence –
Only I.
Only I.
Only I.
Only I.
