[Verse 1]
B           C#m     D                 E
Finally the sun has set on my eternal eve
    B             C#         D        A#
But with immortal life comes solemn responsibility
     B               C#   D                         E
When everything I've ever wished is finally real to me
      B                  C# D   A#
All parade before my eyes:    a cabaret of dreams

[Instrumental]
B Gm B Gm B

[Verse 2]
                  C#       D                          E F
First, the castle perched upon the cliff above the sea
B                C#      D        A#                F#
Next, repair The Great Divide, to dock at Fiddler's Green
B                 C#      D                        E  F
Then, the endless rum and banquets, though I never eat
  B                  C#     D       A#
Instead, consume the husks upon the shore when I grow weak

[Pre-Chorus]
B
Fear me
B
Love me
B
Do as I say
B
For I will be the keeper of your soul
B
To whom you pray

[Chorus 1]
G
Death was never so empowering
    G#m
The lost are mine for the devouring
    Fm                  C#
The world of drowned is mine to shape
E                D#    G B G B
I, the Architect of Creation

[Verse 3]
B                  C#    D                        E F
I could paint this world as the scenery of my soul
B                C#       D    A#
Just consume the light of life so I never grow old
B                C#        D                    Em    F
I could be their saviour - should they wish it, to be saved
B               C#    D    A#    D#      B
All that they require or desire, just be named

[Pre-Chorus]
Bm
Fear me
Bm
Love me
Bm

[Chorus 2]
G
Death was never so empowering
    G#m
The days are gone of crying and cowering
     Fm                     C#
I'll bury both my pride and shame
E           D#         G B G B Em
I, the Architect of Creation

[Bridge 1]
D#m                              Bm
Starting with the carcass of the beast upon the shore
D#m                    Bm
Megalomaniacally, I'll feast forevermore

[Solo]
Ebm Bm Ebm Bm

[Bridge 2]
Bm
And though with every wish I grant
Bm
Be it theirs or mine
Bm
The shreds of my humanity
Bm
Turn sharply in decline
Bm
Cosmic powers come with an inescapable price
    F                            A#m
But I will be a queen in a world of my design

[Chorus 1]
G
Death was never so empowering
    G#m
The lost are mine for the devouring
    Fm                  C#
The world of drowned is mine to shape
Em          D#
I, the Architect

[Chours 2]
G
Death was never so empowering
    G#m
The days are gone of crying and cowering
     Fm                     C#
I'll bury both my pride and shame
E           D#         G B G B
