Intro:       

                
Once I wanted to be the greatest
                        
No wind of waterfall could stall me
                      
And then came the rush of the flood

Stars of night turned deep to dust

        
Melt me down
                     
Into big black armour
                 
Leave no trace of grace
             
Just in your honour
         
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 sleepin'

         
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 sleepin'
                        
For the later parade

                 
Once I wanted to be the greatest
                        
No wind of waterfall could stall me
                 
And then came the rush of the flood

Stars of night turned deep to dust
