[Intro]
[Sound of a stone skittering across the floor]
[Whispering voice, distorted] Be careful what you wish for...

[Verse 1] [Dark, brooding]
In my room, a shadow crept
A tiny life, where it had slept
A spider small, a silent dread
One whispered word, and it was fled
Into the void, it never was
A tiny ripple, just because

[Verse 2] [Growing unease]
Then whispers turned to bolder pleas
To break the chains, to find some ease
The playground tyrant, cruel and loud
Lost in the ever-shifting crowd
He never was, he never stood
A phantom gone, misunderstood

[Pre-Chorus] [Building tension]
A younger sister, laughter bright
A flash of envy in the night
A foolish thought, a cruel desire
Extinguished like a fading fire
The house grew quiet, a hollow sound
No childish voice could there be found

[Chorus] [Epic, regretful]
The stone, it gleamed, a wicked prize
Erasing futures, silencing cries
From tiny pests to human pain
A god of nothing, I remain
The world reshaped, a lonely stage
Upon this empty, silent page

[Verse 3] [Authoritative, cold]
The world bowed down, to my decree
No opposition dared to be
I wished away all doubt and fear
And every soul I held so dear
A perfect order, stark and grand
Ruled by my solitary hand

[Bridge] [Desperate, echoing]
But in the silence, I can hear
The ghosts of what I held so near
The spider's skitter, the bully's jeer
My sister's laughter, crystal clear
They are not gone, they haunt my mind
The echoes of all humankind

[Chorus] [Triumphant yet hollow]
The stone, it gleamed, a wicked prize
Erasing futures, silencing cries
From tiny pests to human pain
A god of nothing, I remain
The world reshaped, a lonely stage
Upon this empty, silent page

[Outro]
[Sound of the stone being dropped, echoing in vast emptiness]
[Whispering voice, fading] ...and then there was one.
[Silence]
