And I, I believe that you were wrong all along
The sky, the sky still falls
And I know you were wrong
Time forgets us all
Black coal, golden gloves and lives lost to harder times
Create all that you saw
Nothing but people to endure
Problems of the future
Built on the backs of lives lost before
History a distraction from reality
Written by those wishing to not be forgotten
[Chorus]
And I, and I believe that you were wrong all along
The sky, the sky still falls
Yet I will be Magnificent
I don't understand
Your reverence and your fear
I can't sympathize
With your need for guidance
I wish I could
Be the light that guides you home
This grave dug, bed made
Long before we were either born
Though I may fail, I will, I will try
Simple lives lived short
Pray to a god that gives you meaning and hope
Yet made us all we are
Superstition begets ignorant bliss
The only soul I know
Is the strength of will I possess
To exist beyond this short-sighted existence
[Chorus]
I will be Magnificent
I will be Magnificent
