'Nature Boy' Moulin Rouge!

In the shadows

of my past,

my power has risen

and eclipsed it in its intensity.

I hold my head high,

and watch as those below me,

scuttle off to fulfill my wishes.

And without remorse,

I create monsters

in my image.

For with my power,

I have discarded my past.

“Power is my mistress.

I have worked too hard at her conquest

to allow anyone to take her away from me.”
