Once I wanted to be the greatest

No wind or waterfall could stall me

And then came the rush of the flood

Stars at night turned deep to dust

Melt me down

Into big black armour

Leave no trace

Of grace

Just in your honor

Lower me down

To culprit south

Make 'em wash

A space in town

For the lead and the dregs of my bed

I've been sleeping

Lower me down

Pin me in

Secure the grounds

For the later parade

Once I wanted to be the greatest

Two fists of solid rock

With brains that could explain

Any feeling

Lower me down

Pin me in

Secure the grounds

For the lead and the dregs of my bed

I've been sleeping

For the later parade

Once I wanted to be the greatest

No wind or waterfall could stall me

And then came the rush of the flood

Stars of night turned deep to dust
