Empress of creation, and the glutton of expectation

The kingdom is being built
all is magnetized by working hands
a storm is forming to water the fertile lands
and to lay waste to gluttony

The four necessities are painted on my heart
the ones that affirm creation on earth's hard surface
and the path to heaven after I have triumphed
or failed to shape earth and form alliances

The eternal apprentice gets ready
Wielding a hammer and the four necessities
Beyond good intentions led astray
Give God's hand ink I pray

To sign a covenant to the road we pave
and to remind us daily of the four necessities
God give our clean hearts to the priestess
and our minds to the negotiation table

Hold the empress' hand afore the white rose
balance the tides and tsunamis of her temper
So the imminent destruction doesn't render
everything we built to rubble and cinder
