Embodiment of All That Is Not Lyrics

I sit on a throne of thought crowned by the jewels of praise
submerged in me at birth, around your neck, above your grave
I accept your humble offerings with the indifference of any deity
I spit at man's ascension, you know you'll always need me
false hope and misplaced faith, I know the pain it brings
just a small few of all my favorite things
every miracle performed in my name, I accept your thanks without any shame
but I've never raised the dead nor healed the lame nor penned a single phrase
I have moved no mountains yet you've thanked me for the strength to climb
believe in me and I will see to the enslavement of your very mind
and if I be not risen, then we are all still dead in our sins
yet I do not even exist and I am never coming back again
I have saved no lives, I have dried no tears
yet my name will echo on for another thousand years
in the heart of the fool, in the mind of the insane
the emptiness in your life forever sustained as my domain
I am Jesus I am Jesus
let he who hath not wisdom reckon the name
I am Jesus I am Jesus
the word made flesh, the words man-made
the embodiment of all that is not, I am nothing
and in me you'll find only desolation and despair
commit to the void and the void commits to you
like a thief in the night, like your worst nightmare
