The Architect Lyrics - Vantage Point - Deus

What is the architect doing? 

He is by the riverside 

What is he thinking out there? 

He is committing egocide 

Now isn't that a strange thing? 

Well to him it feels just 

Well we guess a person's gotta do, 

What a person feels he must 

He said 

I won't throw myself from the pier 

I'm gonna go home and shut up for a year 

And when the year is over I'll reappear 

And have a solution 

I've reason to believe that what I find 

Is gonna change the face of human kind 

And all these years before well I was blind 

That's my conclusion 

'Cause I'm the architect 

'Cause I'm the architect 

'Cause I'm the architect 

Now the man has understood 

That outer space is overrated and too 

About all the problems on this earth we should 

Worry now to solve them later 

And so he's brooding and alluding on a perfect design 

He thinks that working on behalf of himself is a crime 

He flushes out by the water, a view so divine 

He's the architect of his own fate, a man in his prime 

He said 

I won't throw myself from the pier 

I'm gonna go home and shut up for a year 

And when that year is over I'll reappear 

And have a solution 

I've reason to believe that what I find 

Is gonna change the face of human kind 

And all these years before well I was blind 

That's my conclusion 

'Cause I'm the architect 

'Cause I'm the architect 

'Cause I'm the architect 

And so he drew himself a pentagon 

Thinking it through a geodesic dome 

From the coast of Tahiti, to the hills of Rome 

Step aside cause the man will take the Nobel prize home 

He said 

I won't throw myself from the pier 

I'm gonna go home and shut up for a year 

And when that year is over I'll reappear 

And have a solution 

Now if these aspirations bother you 

Well you are just you, you don't have a clue 

I'm sticking to the plan I will see it through 

Let there be no confusion 

'Cause I'm the architect 

'Cause I'm the architect 

'Cause I'm the architect
