Just A Thought

What if I'm in a coma?
What if you're all a dream?
What if this glowering world is mine?
I built it fast asleep

Then that means that all these evils
Exist inside my head
I've slaughtered trillions, never blinked
Never a tear was shed

Every accident or wreck
Or every genocide
I've tumbled every empire
With the devil by my side

It also means that all these martyrs
Heroes, great and small
Were born from thoughts within my mind.
I've built them to stand tall

I've tutored every fallen child
I've ended every war
I've brought down tyrants, bearing palms
I've fed the starving poor

If I'm the one running this place
I think I've done alright
One question: where do I go
When I'm asleep at night?
