About this song

I wrap the faithful. I keep the count. For the God of Ambition, every soul is a number on a ledger, a price paid to stand at the master's right hand.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I wrap the faithful. I keep the count.
Bring me the heart of the one beside you.
Then I will move, and not an hour sooner.
Strength is not born to you. It is taken.

[Hook]
I wanted only this.
To stand at his right hand.
Not loved. Not mourned. Not spared.
Only to be first.

[Verse 2]
My siblings loved this world. My sister burns.
I appraised it. I took the God-Pharaoh's side.
My use ran out. He did not thank me.
He took me apart for the parts I was.

[Hook]
I wanted only this.
To stand at his right hand.
Not loved. Not mourned. Not spared.
Only to be first.

[Turn]
Even the counter is a number to him.
I woke in lazotep and took my share.
No remorse. No revision. The sum stands.
Give me the page again. I would sign.

[Hook]
I wanted only this.
To stand at his right hand.
Not loved. Not mourned. Not spared.
Only to be first.
