Tuning: E♭ tuning (E♭-A♭-D♭-G♭-B♭-E♭)

Em Am
So a god has snatched from me my all
Em Am
In the curse and rack of Destiny.
G Dm
All his worlds are gone beyond recall!
G Dm
Nothing but revenge is left to me!

Em Am
On myself revenge I'll proudly wreak,
Em Am
On that being, that enthroned Lord,
G Dm
Make my strength a patchwork of what's weak,
G Dm
Leave my better self without reward!

Am7 G
I shall build my throne high overhead,
Am7 G
Cold, tremendous shall its summit be.
Dm G7
For its bulwark— —superstitious dread,
Dm G7
For its Marshall—blackest agony.

Em Am
Who looks on it with a healthy eye,
Em Am
Shall turn back, struck deathly pale and dumb;
G Dm
Clutched by blind and chill Mortality
G Dm
May his happiness prepare its tomb.

Am7 G
And the Almighty's lightning shall rebound
Am7 G
From that massive iron giant.
Dm G7
If he bring my walls and towers down,
Dm G7 Am
Eternity shall raise them up, defiant.
