I prefer to think of him
As a man of many means
Of powers extreme
Disposed to the extreme
Nature so determined
He may never change his mind
The only possible excuse
For pretending to be blind
Petition for a life unknown
To all my predecessors shown
I can't know the why of this
His motives are mysterious
His anger extreme
Disposed to the extreme
Has he a hidden past
My memories they don't go back
Enough to remember what
I'm supposed to lack
Petition for a life unknown
To all my predecessors shown
For those who've never had
You keep coming back
You take, take, take away
Till the very last
