[Intro]
You answer to me
[Verse 1]
I am the thunder and the rain, the confusion and the pain
And when I leave, I will wash your wounds clean and leave them golden
I got the whole world swinging from the end of my chain and I'm calling
I got your life in my hands and every debt will be paid and I'm calling
[Pre-Chorus]

You are smoke threading the wind
[Chorus]
In time, all will return to me
In time, all find an end
You answer to me
[Verse 2]

And when I come around, I bring the hammer of god down upon you
I got the whole world swinging from the end of my chain and I'm calling
I got your life in my hands and every debt will be paid and I'm calling, stop
[Pre-Chorus]
Between the spark and the ember
You are smoke threading the wind
[Chorus]
In time, all will return to me
In time, all find an end
In time, all will return to me
In time, you'll find no other way
You answer to me
[Outro]
I am the end and the beginning
I am the end and the beginning
I am forever
I am eternal and nothing stands against me
You answer to me
You answer to me
You answer to me
